WordPress: Adding Users

If you’re using WordPress as your website CMS we’ll need to get Administrator access. To grant this, follow the steps below.

In WordPress, in the left-hand tab click on “Users” and then “Add New”.

Once you are in the user screen, make sure to fill out these fields:

  • Username
  • Email (please use matthew@marsdigital.co.nz)
  • Check the “Send User Notification” box so that the user can set their own password.
  • For “Role” choose “Administrator”

We understand that adding a new company as an administrator can feel off sometimes. We only ask because we need to. We need to be an administrator in order to do the following:

  • Install, activate and delete plugins
  • Edit theme files and code
  • Create, edit and delete pages
  • Add other users as necessary
