Give Each Client Their Own Login
Whether or not you give your clients access to log in and make changes to their own site is up to you. Some Resellers handle website updates for their clients, while others give their clients their own login access (after white labeling their website).
If you do plan to give your clients access to make changes to their website, you’ll want to give each client their own username and password. Don’t give them YOUR username and password, as this will give them access to all websites that you’ve created. By giving your client their own login, the client will only have access to their website.
Create a “User” For Your Client
Follow these steps to create a new “User” for your client:
- Log into the client’s website by going to clientsite.com/wp-admin (or clientsite.restaurantengine.com/wp-admin).
- Go to “Users” > “Add New”.
- Under where it says “Add New User”, create a username and enter your client’s email address.
- For “Role”, you’ll probably want to choose either Administrator, Editor, or Author (see below for more info).
- Click the “Add New User” button.
The user will receive an email containing a link they must click to activate their account. When clicked, it will take them to a web page showing their username and an auto-generated password. This password can later be changed by editing this user’s profile.
Where Your Client Can Log In
The URL that you can give your client to log into their dashboard is their website URL followed by “/login”.
For example: http://clientwebsite.com/login
User Roles Explained
There are several “Roles” you can assign to users. Here are the permissions for each:
Administrator – Somebody who has access to all the administration features
Editor – Somebody who can publish and manage posts and pages as well as manage other users’ posts, etc.
Author – Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts
Contributor – Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish them
Subscriber – Somebody who can only manage their profile
