Users

Open the website and go to WordPress › Users. The list shows each account’s username, name, email and role. Search by username, name or email, or filter by role.

Add a user

1. Click Add user.
2. Fill in:
   • Username: 3 to 60 characters: letters, numbers, dots, dashes and underscores. It can’t be changed later. If you leave it empty, Netkeel suggests one from the email address.
   • Email address
   • Password: at least 10 characters. Click Generate for a strong one, and copy it before you save if you need to pass it on.
   • Role: Administrator, Editor, Author or Subscriber.
3. Click Add user.

Edit a user

1. Click the pencil next to the user.
2. Change the Display name, Email or Role. The role list also offers Contributor.
3. Click Save changes.

Change a password

1. Click the key next to the user.
2. Type a New password of at least 10 characters, or click Generate. Copy it if you need to hand it over.
3. Click Change password.

The new password works straight away. The old one can’t be viewed or recovered.

Sign in as a user

Click the sign-in arrow next to a user. Netkeel opens the WordPress dashboard in a new tab, signed in as that account, with no password needed. This is handy for checking what an editor or a customer sees.

Choose the one-click login account

The WP Admin button at the top of the website’s page signs you in as one account. Unless you choose one, it uses the first administrator.

1. Click the pencil next to the account you want.
2. Tick Use for one-click login.
3. Click Save changes.

That account is marked One-click login in the list. You can also open the arrow next to WP Admin and click Change user to get here.

Delete a user

1. Click the bin next to the user.
2. Confirm Delete user.

The user’s posts and pages aren’t deleted: they are handed to another administrator. For that reason, the website must always keep at least one other administrator. To delete the last one, add a new administrator first.
