Adding New Users in WordPress

You can give other people access to your website by creating user accounts with specific roles like Admin, Editor, or Author.

Step 1 – Log in to WordPress

From WHMCS or /wp-admin, log in to your WordPress dashboard.

Step 2 – Go to the Users Section

In the left-hand WordPress menu, click Users → Add New.

Step 3 – Enter User Details

Fill out the required fields:

• Username (cannot be changed later).

• Email Address (for login and notifications).

• First/Last Name (optional, but recommended).

• Website (optional).

• Password (auto-generated or create your own).

Step 4 – Assign a Role

From the Role dropdown, choose the appropriate role:

• Administrator → full site access.

• Editor → can publish & manage pages/posts.

• Author → can publish their own posts.

• Contributor → can write but not publish.

• Subscriber → read-only access.

Step 5 – Send Notification (Optional)

Check the box Send User Notification if you want WordPress to email the user their login details.

Step 6 – Add New User

Click Add New User to finish.
The new user can now log in with the details provided.

Additional Notes

• Only assign Administrator access if you fully trust the user.

• You can edit or remove users later (see [Editing or Removing Users]).

• For security, encourage strong passwords and limit admin accounts.
