Adding a user with administrator rights in WordPress is simple. Follow these steps to grant access to trusted parties.

1. Log in to your WordPress website.

   You can usually find your login at 'yourdomain.com/wp-admin'
   Once logged in, you will be in your Dashboard.
   
   

2. Click on ‘Users.'

   Click on 'Users,' located in the menu on the left-hand side.
   
   

3. Click ‘Add New.'

   At the top of the screen, click the ‘Add New’ button.
   
   

4. Fill out the form and set the role to Administrator.

   If you’re creating the account for me, please check ‘Send User Notification.'
   
   

5. Click ‘Add New User.'

   If you want me to be able to log in to your website, copy the link to your admin login URL and the username in your email to me.  Please do not include the password in your email to me. I will use the password reset feature to generate a password for my own use.
