   I would like multiple people to manage my WordPress site. Can I add multiple admins? If so, how?

   Thanks!

   Admin > Users

   Select the checkbox next to the user, choose the role from the drop down box and then click "Change"..

   It's just a case of changing a user's role...

   There are a couple of ways you can do it. You can have them register then go in to your admin panel / users select authors and users, then select edit for the user you want to give admin rights to. Once the edit page comes up click the pull down for role and select administrator, then update user. You can use this also if the user is already a registered user.

   Next, you can go to your admin panel / users / add new, once the page comes up you can fill in the appropriate fields and select administrator under the roll pull down. Then add user.

   - I own a site and am the Administrator.
   - I have a contractor who I want do anything to the site other than to control if he/she has master control over his/her own access.
   - I understand an editor does not have overall permissions such as adding plugins, tweaking CSS etc.

   WordPress needs a Master Administrator classification to manage all users even those with full design, coding, editing permissions. I cannot imagine any responsible company giving complete control to any employee or contractor. This is a very important issue we need to be resolved before continuing to continue committment to a relatively large WP undertaking. Thank you for your help.
