To add a new user to your site, fill in the form on this screen and click the Add User button at the bottom.
Because this is a multisite installation, you may add accounts that already exist on the Network by specifying a username or email, and defining a role. For more options, such as specifying a password, you have to be a Network Administrator and use the hover link under an existing user’s name to Edit the user profile under Network Admin > All Users.
New users will receive an email letting them know they’ve been added as a user for your site. This email will also contain their password. Check the box if you do not want the user to receive a welcome email.
Remember to click the Add User button at the bottom of this screen when you are finished.
Here is a basic overview of the different user roles and the permissions associated with each one:
- Subscribers can read comments/comment/receive newsletters, etc. but cannot create regular site content.
- Contributors can write and manage their posts but not publish posts or upload media files.
- Authors can publish and manage their own posts, and are able to upload files.
- Editors can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people’s posts, etc.
- Administrators have access to all the administration features.
