When using WordPress, you may need to give more than one user access to edit your site or blog. You can create multiple users for WordPress and give each user a different role.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you create a user, you should understand the types of users that WordPress allows you to create. There are five categories of WordPress users:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Administrator –<\/strong>\u00a0This user has access to all of the administrative functions for the WordPress site.<\/li>\n
• Editor –<\/strong>\u00a0This user can publish and manage posts, including posts created by other users.<\/li>\n
• Author –<\/strong>\u00a0This user can manage and publish their own posts, but not those of other users.<\/li>\n
• Contributor –<\/strong>\u00a0This user can write and manage posts, but cannot publish them. They need to be published by a higher user.<\/li>\n
• Subscriber –<\/strong>\u00a0This user can only view the site and manage their own profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Now that you understand the types of users, follow these steps in order to create a user.<\/strong><\/p>\n

  \n
  • Login to your\u00a0WordPress Dashboard<\/strong>. From the main\u00a0left menu<\/strong>, choose Users.<\/li>\n
  • This screen will show you all existing users.\u00a0Click Add New to create a new one.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • On this page, you will need to enter the information for your new user, such as: username, email, and setting up a password.<\/li>\n
  • Check the box for &ldquo;Send this password to the new user by email&rdquo;. Make sure that you have entered the new user&rsquo;s email correctly.<\/li>\n
  • Choose the role that you want to assign to this user.<\/li>\n
  • Finally, click Add New User.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You will now see your user on the Users page. If you ever need to edit or remove the user, you can do so here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[54],"manual_kb_tag":[60],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2025"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2026,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2025\/revisions\/2026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2025"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
