Adding New Users

From your website's dashboard, click "Users".

Click "Add New"

Click the "Username (required)" field and enter an appropriate username for the new user. Common practice is to use first initial last name (jsmith) or firstname.lastname (john.smith).

Click the "Email (required)" field and enter the new user's email address.

Click the "First Name" field and enter the new user's first name.

Click the "Last Name" field and enter the new user's last name.

By default the Password field will be filled with a strong password. Click "Generate password" to have it generate a new strong password, if you would like. Note: The new user will receive an email with a link to set their own password so it is unnecessary to change the auto generated password.

Leave the "Send User Notification" box checked so the new user receives an email with the link to set their own password.

The default role for new users has, most likely, been set to "Editor", which has been configured to provide the permissions needed to edit some of the site's content.

When you are finished entering the new user's information, click "Add New User".
