Add Users

Last Updated

If you are the website administrator you can create new users, edit existing user information or amend user roles based on your requirements.

To view all of the users currently registered to your website, click on Users on the left-side navigation.

This will list all of the active users on the website, as shown below:

Add New User

To add a new user, in the Users area, click on the Add New button, this will open the following screen:

You will need to enter both a username and email address for the user in their respective fields.

We recommend a memorable username that is unique. Note that you CANNOT change the username once the account is created.

Both the first name and last name are optional fields, but are useful for organisation.

Website and Language fields are also optional.

Password

WordPress automatically generates a secure password. To view and save the password, click the Show Password button.

You can also send the user a notification about their account creation, however the password is not sent with this email.

Role

You can select the role of the user from the drop-down. You can learn more about different roles here.

Click the Add New User button to create the user account, which is now viewable in the main users area.
