How to create an admin account

Create a temporary WordPress administrator for support access, then delete it when finished.

Support may need temporary administrator access. Create a dedicated account you can delete afterward.

Create the account

  1. Go to Users → Add New.

Add New User in WordPress Menu Item

  1. Fill in:
    • Username: something unique (for example wpsecurityninja)
    • Email: [email protected] if you are inviting our team, or the address you agree with support
    • Send User Notification: on
    • Role: Administrator

How to Add a New WordPress Administrator

  1. Confirm the role is Administrator.
  2. Click Add New User.

After support finishes

Go to Users, find the temporary account, and delete it. Do not leave unused administrator accounts on the site.
