Security Ninja’s Events Logger includes a robust monitoring system for new administrator accounts. This functionality ensures that you are immediately informed whenever a new admin user is created, whether through the standard WordPress interface or via direct database manipulation.

How It Works:

*   When a new admin user is created, the Events Logger checks the user’s role to confirm they have administrator privileges.
*   If the user is an administrator, a notification is sent to the site administrator, and the event is logged for future reference.
*   The system also checks for any direct database insertions, which can indicate potential security breaches.

Configuration:

To enable notifications for new admin user creation, navigate to the Security Ninja settings and ensure that the “Notify on new admin creation” option is enabled.
