To add a new site administrator (or other role), the staff member will need to attempt to log in to the dashboard of the site as per above. Once logged in, this creates the user account on the WordPress site. This account can be granted additional roles by doing the following:
- On the left-hand side of the dashboard, go to Users.
- Find the account of the new user and click their name.
- Change their Role from the default to Administrator, or if another role is required/desired, a different role. For instance, some sites may require lower levels of access for certain staff.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click the Update User button to save changes.
