Go to https://sites.dartmouth.edu/yoursite/wp-admin.
Log in with your NetID and password.
Your WordPress dashboard appears. This is the content management tool that allows you to edit your website. To allow someone else to edit/maintain your site, you will need to add a new User.
Add a user by clicking on “Users” in the left-hand column.
At the top of the page, click “Add Existing.”
Enter the NetID or email of the person you wish to add as a user.
Choose the “Role.”
Administrator – can do everything including complete power over posts, pages, plugins, comments, choice of themes, imports, settings, assign user roles and are even able to delete the blog.
Editor – is able to publish posts/pages, manage posts/pages, upload files, moderate comments as well as manage other people’s posts/pages.
Author – can upload files plus write and publish own posts.
Contributor – can write own posts but can’t publish them; instead they are submitted for review. An administrator or editor then reviews and publishes their posts.
Subscriber – can read comments and write comments.
Click “Add Existing User” to complete the process.
To exit the dashboard, click on your username in the upper right-hand corner and choose “Log out.”
