# User Roles: Keymaster Admin

 * I have a problem with one of my users.
 * User 1: Keymaster + Admin
    User 2: Admin User 3: Keymaster
 * User 3 is a keymaster but cannot access the dashboard and it keeps saying “not
   enough privileges”.
 * Any suggestions on how I can make User 3 have both keymaster and admin privileges?

 * Sorry? Keymaster? There’s no such role in WordPress by default.

 * Quite a few of those roles do not exist in WordPress by default. Are you using
   a custom role plugin?

 * Looked through the plugin list..no plugin related to user roles.

 * In that case, I can only assume these additional roles have been added by your
   theme. What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

 * [That theme](https://wordpress.org/themes/fashionistas) does not add any custom
   roles as WPORG hosted themes are not allowed to do so (it’s strictly plugin territory).
 * Are you using a forum plugin?

 * I have the same setup as you do [@akaii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akaii/),
   Keymaster is a custom changed name for Super Administrator. If you are on a multi-
   site network it controls all the WordPress installations and over the adminstrators.
 * Administrators however can only control one WordPress installation. Such as me
   on two of my web network setups, I am both a Keymaster and administrator.
 * Hope that helps. By the way a keymaster is a reference to a Ghostbusters scene
   I believe. Someone with Ghost Busters terminology that assigned this on WordPress
   needs to find a new hobby. 😀
