# Multisite User confusion!!

 * Hi,
 * I installed a new WordPress Multisite recently for my project and made sub-sites
   for example site1, site2, site3.
    Now i have a user specific for site1 only but
   he can still login to site2 and site3. Is this the feature of Multisite or am
   i missing something here…
 * If this is how it works then, is there any plugin to restrict users from site1
   and site2 and site3.
 * Any help/advice would be appreciated.

 * Has that user got site-wide SuperAdmin rights? If so, he should be able to log
   in to any of the subsites in this way.
    If you log in to subsites site2 and site3,
   is your site1 user listed in the Users menu?

 * If a user logs in to other sites, he does so ONLY as a subscriber. He has no 
   extra powers.

 * [@dgilmour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgilmour/) – superAdmin can login
   to all three site1,site2,site3. But user specific to site1 only (site1 is not
   the main site). I din’t get the thought of checking what you said, thanks for
   the thought..!
 * [@ipstenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) – Thanks bro as you 
   said is right. I read on some post that users of specific site can also login
   to other sub-sites but as a subscriber only. Is there any way to restrict them
   completely…like show some message like “You do not belong to this site. Please
   register to this site.” or something..?
 * Thanks for replying.

 * I haven’t tested this, so I can’t verify that it actually works (or what complications
   it might bring), but you could try creating a new role with fewer capabilities
   than the Subscriber role, then assign all of these users to that role.
