Add more admins to our WordPress instance

It may be required that, apart from the initial admin account (which is linked to a CERN primary/secondary/service account), we want adding a new user as administrator of our WordPress site.

Initially, we need this user to login first under our WordPress site, by going to https://<my-site>.web.cern.ch/wp-admin.

This user should see the WordPress administration part as follows (because the user hosts a basic user role (Subscriber) and not an administrator role (Administrator)):

Now, it's our turn. Go to https://<my-site>.web.cern.ch/wp-admin and login as administrator of the WordPress site. On the left side of the window, click under Users. We will see the following screen:

For this example, user admtrobo will become administrator.

We see that there is a user with the Subscriber role. Let's make it Administrator. To do so, just check the corresponding user, select the role under the Change role to... dropdown, and click on Change.

Voilà! User admtrobo has acquired the Administrator role.

This user needs to refresh its browser in case it's signed in to see the administration panel.
