How to Add a New User

  1. Login to WP-Admin
  2. On the menu on the left hand side, select ‘Users’, and then ‘Add New User’. 
  3. For the username, use the user’s email address, and then also enter in their email address where it is requested.
  4. Continue to fill out the user’s first and last name.
  5. Generate a password via WP-Admin (WP-Admin will generate a strong one for you) or manually enter one in. Make sure you copy and save this somewhere safe.
  6. Tick the box for ‘send user notification’ – this will send the new user an email notifying them of their account.
  7. Select what role you would like them to have. Editor means that they can essentially edit any content etc. Whereas Administrator is the highest level of access that can be provided.
  8. Select ‘Add New User.’
