How to change WordPress user roles

To change a user’s WordPress role (from Administrator) you have two options.

Option 1

Create User in brandSuite–then change role
Once you have created a brandSuite user, log in to WordPress as that user.  Once you are in the WordPress dashboard, go to:

Users > Role

Option 2

Create User in WordPress (with matching email as brandSuite user)–then change role
Create a WordPress user within WordPress with the same email you will use for the brandSuite user. Change the user role of that user in WordPress, go to:

Users > Role

Note: emails must be the same. For example, if Bob is a WordPress user with the email robert@email.com, the brandSuite user that gets created for Bob must use robert@email.com and not bob@email.com.  If you create a brandSuite user for Bob with the email bob@email.com, a new WordPress user will be created for Bob with bob@email.com and Bob will now have two WordPress users.
