New to WordPress? Here's how to create a user (2023)

When you install WordPress.com's website, you can create an admin user, which is typically used by the web administrator. It's quite common to have multiple individuals working on the site, such as writers, designers, or just employees who need access.

Below, we'll walk through how to set up a new WordPress user and also explore the various user roles available in WordPress, along with the corresponding access privileges for each role.

Only administrators have the ability to create new users. If you're an administrator, you should see a menu tab labeled 'Users' inside the admin panel. Click on this tab

Inside the user page

Now that you've clicked on 'users', you'll see a list of all WordPress users created on this page. Here, you can edit, delete, and add new users. Today, we're going to add a new user for ourselves, so at the top right of the 'Users' title, you'll find a button labeled 'create new'.
