Making WordPress Users

Making a WordPress user is very simple. To start off, navigate to “Users” in the Admin Panel.

You’ll get the Add New User form (pictured below), which has pretty self-explanatory fields. The one, “Role” may require some thought. Learn about Roles at the WordPress Codex.

If you have collaborators on your site – from at IT person to another writer – User Accounts make it possible to track who does what within the WordPress CMS. User Accounts also permit several people to be logged in and working simultaneously.
