Adding someone as a WordPress admin gives them full access and management permissions, so they can perform tasks like updating plugins or changing settings to help you tick some things off your to-do list.
Here’s a super simple guide on how to add a WordPress admin.
Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard
Go to yoursite.com/wp-admin and log in to your WordPress dashboard.
In the left-hand menu, hover over Users and click Add New User.
You’ll be presented with a form. Fill out the following details:
- Username: A unique name that your new WordPress admin will use to log in. This can’t be changed later, so choose wisely!
- Email: The person whose email address you’re adding as a WordPress admin. For us, for example, [email protected].
- First/Last Name: This is optional, but can be helpful for display purposes.
- Website: This is also optional, and can be a personal or business URL.
- Password: You can either create your own strong password here or let WordPress generate one for you.
- Send User Notification: Tick this to automatically email the new WordPress admin a secure link to set their password. Alternatively, you can send them this information yourself using a secure tool such as Password Pusher.
- Role: Select Administrator from the dropdown list.
Click the Add New User button at the bottom of the page to complete the process.
Voila! You’ve added a WordPress admin. Happy delegating.
