How can you grant individuals administrative access to your WordPress website without giving them login credentials?

[Ryaan J.]

There are various methods to grant individuals administrator access to your WordPress website without giving login credentials or explicitly informing them about their elevated privileges:


1. Use the "Add New User" feature:

WordPress includes a native feature known as "Add New User," enabling you to generate a fresh user account and designate a particular role, like an administrator. Leverage this feature to establish an administrator account for someone without revealing your login details.

1. Log into your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to Users > Add New User.
3. Enter the username and email for the new user.
4. Ensure that the option 'Send user notification' is selected. If not, new users will only receive notification of being granted access to your site if you manually inform them and provide their details, which contradicts the purpose of this tutorial.
5. Select 'Administrator' from the 'Role' dropdown menu.
6. Click on the Add New User button.

2. Use third-party plugins

Numerous WordPress plugins are available to grant website access without revealing login credentials. One such plugin is User Role Editor, which enables the creation of custom user roles and their assignment to specific users. This proves advantageous when you aim to provide someone access to specific areas of your website without granting full administrator privileges.
