WordPress user permissions for updating FareHarbor Sites
Last updated: May 6, 2025
User profiles are used to gain access to FareHarbor Sites in different capacities. They are associated with an email address (one account per email address) and can be given access to multiple FareHarbor Sites. FareHarbor Sites can accommodate any number of user profiles, but it’s suggested to keep access limited to those who need it.
