In your dashboard, navigate to \u201cUsers\u201d, then \u201cAll Users\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/user-access-to-blog-01.png\" alt=\"Invite Users To Access A WordPress Blog - WordPress Dashboard\" title=\"How To Invite Users To Access A WordPress Blog - WordPress Dashboard\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>2.

They may need to post content, edit sections of your site, or do general site maintenance for you. This means they will need some form of access to make those changes and publish new blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving someone working on your WordPress website safe access is straightforward if you follow the steps above. If you do this, there is also the added security benefit of not having to share your WordPress login details or <a alt=\"Link to Hosted.com KBs - How To Change Your WordPress Password\" title=\"Hosted.com - How To Change Your WordPress Password\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/knowledgebase\/wordpress\/change-a-wordpress-password\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">change your password<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the higher the role you assign, the more user rights that person will have. As the roles progress down, the user will have less access. For example, an Admin will in most cases, have full access to the entire backend, while a Follower can only read and comment on your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you invite people to your WordPress site at different access levels, you can expand your website and add more content frequently. You can also delegate its day-to-day management to a trusted User.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1b4c6800d7b5089415ffffa11defb6d4\"><strong>Important Note: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-560cd6a11f51a11e198cbbec3ab1d8df\">People with Admin access to your blog can change the layout, and permissions, potentially even shut down your blog. We advise caution when adding a new Admin to your WordPress site and please do a backup first and then regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"removing-visitors\">Removing Users<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see who has accepted your invitation to view and access your page.
