This way you can give someone on your team administrator access to every site in a project at once and remove it when they're done. You can also delete a suspicious administrator as soon as you get the alert, without leaving Modular DS. ## Where to find your administrators You can manage administrators from two places, depending on whether you'd rather work with several websites or just one. In the global view, go to "WP users" under "Security" in the side menu. There you have all the administrators of all your websites, with two tabs over the same list: * "Websites": each website is a row you expand to see its administrators. Changes you make here affect only that website. * "Users": each administrator appears only once, even if they're on several websites. You can expand it to see which websites they're on and choose which ones the changes apply to, all or just some. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/wordpress-admin-user-managemen_rqxkkq.png) If you'd rather work website by website, go to "WP users" under "Security" in that website's panel. You'll see only its administrators, with their email, status and registration date. Keep in mind that Modular DS **only manages users with the administrator role**. Other WordPress roles don't appear in this list. [SCREENSHOT: "WP users" section inside a website's panel] ## Create an administrator user To add an administrator user, click "Create user" and complete the two steps of the process. 1. Fill in the access details. The "Username" and the "Email" are required, and the username **can't be changed later**. Also set the password the user will use to log in to WordPress. 2. Choose which websites it's created on. Select the websites one by one and the user will be created on all the selected ones at once. Click "Create user" to finish. Users are always created with the "Administrator" role, the only one Modular DS manages. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/image_mqkeyn.png) In the second step you choose the websites where you want to add them. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/image_40848o.png) ## Edit an administrator user, their password or their role Each administrator has an actions menu (the three-dots icon on the right of their row) with these options: "Edit profile", "Change password", "Change role" and "Delete user". With the first three you can: * "Edit profile": update the name, surname, display name and email. Only the name and surname can be left empty; the email is required. * "Change password": set a new password. It's the recommended action if you suspect their credentials have been compromised. * "Change role": assign them another WordPress role. Since Modular DS only manages administrators, if you stop assigning them the administrator role they'll no longer be managed here and will be **marked as deleted for 7 days**. Keep in mind the tab you're on: * On the "Websites" tab, each action affects only that website. * On the "Users" tab you choose which of the administrator's websites it applies to. "Change password" isn't available there, because it would mean setting the same password across all their websites. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/image_ju9o1.png) ## Delete an administrator user When you delete an administrator user you have to decide **what happens to the content they've created** in WordPress. Modular DS gives you two options: * "Assign their content to another user": their posts and pages pass to another user on that website. * "Delete all their content": it's removed along with the user. If the administrator is on several websites and you delete them from all at once, you choose what to do with their content on each one separately. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/image_139zafd.png) ## Make changes to several administrator users at once Check the checkbox of the administrator users you want and an actions bar will appear at the bottom. As a group you can: * Change the role * Delete Editing the profile and changing the password are done one at a time, not as a group. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/a/5/5/aa55333f4a914000/image_p1p8e5.png) ## Identity confirmation for sensitive actions Any action that creates, edits or deletes an administrator user asks you to confirm your identity before it's applied, even a change of name or surname. Modular DS asks for your Modular DS account password, which **is not the WordPress user's password**. You won't have to repeat it on every consecutive action: it's only asked again after a few minutes. If you log in to Modular DS with your Google account, you won't be asked for this confirmation. ## Protected administrator users and deleted users There are two administrator users that Modular DS protects and that you **can't delete or change the role of** (you'll see those options disabled): * The website's only administrator, because every website needs at least one administrator. * The user set to [log in with one click](https://help.modulards.com/en/article/how-to-choose-the-user-to-log-in-to-wordpress-14f6799/), which is the one used when you click "Go to WordPress" from Modular DS. If you run a bulk action that includes one of these protected users, Modular DS warns you at that moment. Administrator users you delete keep appearing in the list for 7 days, struck through and with no actions available, so you keep the recent history in view. After those 7 days they disappear. ## Related articles * [How to choose the user to log in to WordPress](https://help.modulards.com/en/article/how-to-choose-the-user-to-log-in-to-wordpress-14f6799/) * [How to activate 2FA Login on your account](https://help.modulards.com/en/article/how-to-activate-2fa-login-on-your-account-1r27z96/) * [Patch & Protect: What it is and how to enable it](https://help.modulards.com/en/article/patch-protect-what-it-is-and-how-to-enable-it-1w3kmb8/) --- Do you need help with anything else?
