Use this interactive demo to learn how to invite and add a new user to your WordPress site.

Quick summary

Adding a user to WordPress lets site owners grant access to team members by sending an email invitation directly from the dashboard. The process takes under a minute using the built-in Users menu in WordPress.com.


Steps

  1. In the left-hand menu, click on Users.
  2. Click on Add a team member under the Users menu.
  3. Fill out the user information accordingly.
  4. Enter the user's email address or username.
  5. Optionally, add a message to be sent along with the invitation.
  6. Click the Send invitation button to add the user account.
  7. The new user will appear in the Users list and receive an email with their login credentials.

📌 Why this matters

Managing user access in WordPress is essential for teams running collaborative websites, blogs, or client projects. WordPress's built-in user invitation system allows site administrators to quickly add team members, assign roles, and send login credentials via email — all without manual account setup. This streamlined process reduces onboarding friction and ensures the right people have the right level of access to your WordPress site. Whether you're managing a small blog or a large multi-author publication, knowing how to add and invite users is a foundational WordPress admin skill.
