How to Give Access to Your WordPress Website

Sometimes the support team or a developer needs temporary access to your WordPress admin to help you fix an issue or check a configuration.
This guide explains the safest way to do that.

1. Create a new admin user (recommended) #

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go to Users → Add New.
3. Fill in the fields:
   • Username: something like rakmyat-support
   • Email: the email provided by support (or your own if they will log in with username only)
   • Password: click “Generate password” and keep it strong
   • Send User Notification: enable if you want WordPress to email the login details
   • Role: choose Administrator
4. Click Add New User.

Share with support only:

• Login URL: https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/
• Username
• Password

Do not reuse your personal admin account and never share your own password.

2. Limit access time #

After the support team finishes:

1. Go to Users → All Users.
2. Find the support account (for example rakmyat-support).
3. Either:
   • Click Delete to remove access completely, or
   • Click Edit and change the Role to a lower level (for example Subscriber) if you want to keep the account but without admin rights.

This ensures nobody can log in later with full permissions.

3. Optional: Temporary access plugins #

If you do not want to manage users manually, you can use a temporary access plugin from the WordPress plugin directory (for example plugins that create expiring admin links).
The idea is the same:

• Generate a temporary access link or user
• Share it with support
• Remove or let it expire after they finish.
