 * Hi there,
 * I would like to know how i can create a multisite user without access to back
   office and database. Using FTP !
 * With this code (in fonction.php) it’s OK but don’t have access ton the Network
   admin panel.
 *     ```
       function wpb_admin_account(){
       $user = 'Username';
       $pass = 'Password';
       $email = 'email@domain.com';
       if ( !username_exists( $user )  && !email_exists( $email ) ) {
       $user_id = wp_create_user( $user, $pass, $email );
       $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
       $user->set_role( 'administrator' );
       } }
       add_action('init','wpb_admin_account');
       ```
   
 * Any Idea ?
    Thank you !

 * Just to understand… Why do you need to do this via FTP and not using the normal
   WordPress admin area?
 * I just ask because it seems like the wrong thing to be doing, and something that
   a hacker would try to do.

 * Hey,
 * My client ask me to made change on his website done by someone else. She don’t
   have a “admin access” so cannot create a proper admin account. I would like to
   make the account on phpmyadmin BUT the adminsys is on holidays for 2 weeks and
   don’t answer to my emails. My customer put pressure on me because she want the
   changes on her website before she goes on Christmas holiday too.
 * I ask here because seems to be the best place to do it.
 * May I ask, my turn a question : Why for one website is ok to share the answer(
   same website) and for multisite it seems like hacking ?

 * So same question different way to ask :
 * Is that a function equivalent to wpb_admin_account for multisite ?
 * Thanks in advance

 * PS : I can change the multiple website on false on the wp-config and then have
   access to the update area same for both website.
 * But I would like to update it for the next time without doing that manipulate.

 * There’s no difference between “single” ad “Network”. I’d ask the same question
   for both!
 * Have a look at the function for grant_super_admin().
