Creating a New User
🔎Note: Only account "Owners" are allowed to create new users. No other account type can create new users.
Log into the back end of your WSM account and follow these steps:
Step 1: Hover your mouse over the Systems tab and click on User Access.

Step 2: On the right-hand side of the screen, click the green Add User button.

Step 3: Enter the new user's name and email address in the form fields provided.

Step 4: Type the name of the site and select it from the suggested matches as you type. Then assign the specific role required for that site.
- If you own multiple websites, click Add Site to grant the user access to additional sites — type the website name and specify the user's permission level for each one.
- If no site name field is available to enter, click Add Site to create a new field.

Step 5: Click Create User to complete the form.

Once you're finished, an email will be sent to both you and the new user containing their login information.
Editing or Deactivating a User
To change a user's permission level or site access:
- Hover over Systems and click User Access.
- Find the user in the list and click their name to open their account details.
- Update their permission level or site assignments, then save.
To deactivate or remove a user's access:
- From the same User Access screen, open the user's account details.
- Select the option to deactivate the account (this revokes their login without deleting their order/activity history).
Troubleshooting
New user didn't receive their login email:
- Confirm the email address was entered correctly when the account was created.
- Ask them to check spam/junk folders.
- If it still hasn't arrived after 15 minutes, submit a ticket and we can resend it or verify the account was created correctly.
Can't find the "Add User" button:
- Only Owner accounts can create users. Confirm you're logged in as an Owner-level account.
