Adding Users
Go to Users on the left and select Add New
Enter the email or the UBC ID of the person you are adding. Select the User Role you want them to have in the dashboard (read about the differences below). Click Add User when ready. You can invite multiple people at the same time by including all their emails/ids seperated by semicolon (";") or enter one person per line.
User Roles
Administrator – access to everything
Editor – access to most except core theme options. Can view / download form entries.
Author – access to edit / delete pages and posts that they are assigned to as Author
Process: Once the SPA has been added as an Author, go into the Posts they will be editing and change the author of the post to be the relevant SPA. Admins will still be able to edit all posts and therefore will still have access but assigning the SPA as the author of the post means they too can edit.
NOTE: Authors also have access to edit Profiles and the Media Library – I’m going to ask about limiting this access.
Contributor – can create new posts and then edit those but cannot be assigned to edit posts already created. (Therefore not a high enough level for SPAs)
Subscriber - can view the site including protected pages.
