Add a New User to WordPress

WordPress has a feature that allows a website to have multiple users. This would be a perfect option if you’re working on a group project that uses one website.

First, you’ll want to install WordPress. This will designate the administrator. From there, login to the dashboard of the WordPress site.

From there, click Add New under the users section.

Fill out all the information you’d like, specifically the username, email, password, and user role. You can designate specific roles to specific people, and they will be allowed to see specific actions. You can read more about user roles here: WordPress User Roles 101: What They Are and How to Use Them
