Create New Users

To create WordPress users using WordPress Hosting, you must create a Business App user. A WordPress user will be automatically created when you create the Business App user.

How It Works

  • Users are identified by their email address
  • The Business App email address is used for WordPress login
  • All users created in Business App are assigned the Administrator role in WordPress by default

Example

You want to give Bob access to your WordPress website:

  1. Create a Business App user for Bob with the email bob@email.com
  2. When Bob accesses the WordPress dashboard via WordPress Hosting, he will be automatically logged in as an Administrator with the email bob@email.com

Change User Roles

If you need to change a user's WordPress role from Administrator to a different role, you have two options:

Option 1: Create User in Business App First

  1. Create a user in Business App.
  2. Log in to WordPress as that user.
  3. Navigate to Users → Role in the WordPress dashboard.
  4. Select the desired role.

Option 2: Create User in WordPress First

  1. Create a WordPress user with the same email address you'll use for the Business App user.
  2. Navigate to Users → Role in the WordPress dashboard.
  3. Change the user role to the desired role.
  4. Create the corresponding Business App user with the same email address.
