If you are an administrator, you can add a new user to your WordPress site as long as they have a WAB email account. There are different levels of access for each user.

STEPS:

1. Log onto the blog you want to add the user to, and from the top menu, go Add New>User
2. In the “email or username” field, type their WAB username (this is the first part of their WAB email address WITHOUT the @wab.edu )
3. Choose what role you want them to have. Mostly we make everyone an administrator. 
4. Click “Add Existing User” 

Done!

Description of roles:

• Administrator – somebody who has access to all the administration features within a single site.
• Editor – somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users.
• Author – somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
• Contributor – somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
• Subscriber – somebody who can only manage their profile.

1. Go to your student blog and login. You can find the link to your blog on your class blog.

2. Use your WAB username and password to login.
