This guide explains how to invite users to access a WordPress website safely and securely.
WordPress Hosting allows website owners to create multiple user accounts with different permission levels. This makes it easier to collaborate with employees, freelancers, content creators, developers, or contributors without sharing administrator login credentials.
Each user role has different levels of access and permissions, allowing administrators to control what actions users can perform on the website.
