Adding Users to a Site

Steps to Add Users #

If you need to add other users to a site follow these steps:

1. Make sure the user you want to add has created an account on the Sites@UMW platform.
   • If they need an account direct them to the sign-up page and have them select the “Just a User Account” button if the user only wants to be added to your site.
2. On the dashboard of the site you want to add the user go to Users > Add New.
   • 
3. Fill in the e-mail address of the user and select what role they should have on your site. Click “Add Existing User” button when done.
   • 
4. The user will be e-mailed an invitation to your site that they’ll need to accept.

Each role has a different purpose and different privileges. To learn more, read the WordPress guide on roles and their capabilities.
