How to add a new user to your Wordpress website

After logging in to your website dashboard, scroll down the menu on the left and click on Users.

You will then be taken to a list of existing users.

Next to the title 'Users', click on the Add New button.

You will then need to provide specific details for the new user:

We recommend using the persons name as their username (this is also displayed publicly if the user is an author of a news post)

You will need to enter their email address, first name and last name.

There is no need to add a Website or change the site default Language.

The password is generated automatically however you can override this if you like (we do not recommend this though).

To ensure that the new user receives an email prompting them to login, make sure you keep the 'Send User Notification' box ticked.

You will then need to decide what level of access you wish for the new user to receive.

If you wish for them to have full access, set them upas an Administrator. If they will be adding content only (and don't need access to settings) then you can set them up as an Editor.

Once you are happy, click the 'Add New User' button and that individual will be granted access.
