Want to add a user to your blog? No problem, just follow these 5 steps…
1. Log into the Dashboard of your blog.
2. Navigate to the Users tab located in the left navigation bar of your Dashboard and select ‘Add New’. (The Users tab is located between the Plugins and Tools tabs).
3. Enter the member’s username (this can be found on their profile page).
*Please note- Only Commons members can be added to a blog.
4. Enter the member’s email address.
5. Set the role of the new user to: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor or Subscriber.
A bit about the WPMU member roles:
- Administrator – Somebody who has access to all the administration features.
- Editor – Somebody who can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people’s posts, etc.
- Author – Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
- Contributor – Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts.
- Subscriber – Somebody who can read comments/comment/receive news letters, etc.
That person will be sent an email asking them to click a link confirming the invite.
*New users will not need a new username or password to log into the blog — once they log into the Commons they will have access to the blog under ‘My Blogs’ on the top navigation bar.
