WordPress comes with a user role management system which defines what a specific user can and cannot do on your website. Knowing these user roles and permissions are essential as your WordPress site grows.
Out of the box, there are five default user roles:
- Administrator
- Editor
- Author
- Contributor
- Subscriber
If Jim's Infotech host your domain, then upon request, we can provide the digital marketing company with any level of access, including Administrator access.
Unless specified otherwise; as part of your SEO Agreement
- Adding additional new users to a website is always the full responsibility of the digital marketing company.
Special note: For Administrator access.
Administrator is the most powerful user role. Users with the administrator role can add new posts, pages, edit any posts, pages by any users on the site, and even delete those posts, pages. An admin can install, edit, and delete plugins as well as themes. Most importantly an administrator user can add new users to the site, change information about existing users including their passwords as well as delete any user (including other administrators too). This role is basically reserved for site owners and gives you the full control of your WordPress site.
For Digital Partners requiring Administrator access, as part of good house keeping, we require the following strictly:
- To never delete any Jim's Group users on the website
Use Two Step Verification to WordPress Login Screen
- To chose strong, unique, hard to guess passwords
- All user detail fields must be completed in the WordPress backend
- All users (in the WordPress backend) must be uniquely identifiable
Failure to do so, may result in vulnerabilities on the website.
