How to add an administrator to your Wordpress site

Sometimes you need to give SHE Media access to your site, so that we can help troubleshoot, or help connect our plugin for you.  We do not recommend ever giving anyone your exact login.  Instead, we recommend creating a new administrator user on your account.  Setting this up is very straightforward.

Adding a new user

In your Wordpress dashboard, you'll go to Users, and then select Add New User from the menu.  This will open a page for a new user.  Fill it in with an email address and username (you can use the email address for both)

At the bottom of the user settings, there's a field for Role.  This defines how much access the user will have.  If you are adding SHE Media to your site so that they can connect Infuse, or troubleshoot something else for you - it will need to be an administrator role.

When you save the user, it will send that email address a notification that their account was created, and typically they will be able to setup their password and access it.

Removing a user

When SHE Media is done with our work, we will let you know.  This is so you can remove that user access.  To do that, go to Users >> All Users.  This will have a list of every user for your blog.  Find the user account you created for our team, check the box next to it.  And from the Actions drop down above it, you can select Delete.
