# Manage Users
> Manage WordPress users across your Child Sites from the MainWP Dashboard. Create new users, edit existing users, change roles, import users via CSV, and delete users remotely.
The Manage Users feature lets you control WordPress user accounts across all your child sites from a central location. Create new users on multiple sites at once, edit existing user details, import users via CSV, and remove user accounts without logging into each site individually.
## What You'll Accomplish
* Search and view users across all child sites
* Create new user accounts on one or multiple sites
* Import multiple users via CSV file
* Edit existing user accounts
* Delete single or multiple users
## Prerequisites
* MainWP Dashboard installed and activated
* At least one child site connected to your Dashboard
* Administrator access to your Dashboard site

Click **Show Users**.
A list of matching users appears at the bottom of the page.
***
## Create a New User
Create a WordPress user on one or multiple child sites simultaneously.
Go to **MainWP > Users > Add New**.
Complete the user information:
| Field | Description |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Username | Login name for the user |
| Email Address | User's email for notifications and password resets |
| First Name | User's first name (optional) |
| Last Name | User's last name (optional) |
| Website URL | User's website (optional) |
| Password | Enter custom password or use auto-generated one |

[Select the child sites](/getting-started/mainwp-user-interface) where you want to create this user.
Click **Add New User**.
MainWP creates the user account on all selected sites.
***
## Import Users via CSV
Import multiple users at once using a CSV file.
Go to **MainWP > Users > Import Users**.
Click **Download Sample CSV file** to get the template.
Open the downloaded file in a text editor. Replace the demo values (lines 2-6) with your user data.
Enter values in this order, separated by commas:
| Position | Field | Notes |
| -------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| 1 | Username | Required |
| 2 | Email Address | Required |
| 3 | First Name | Optional |
| 4 | Last Name | Optional |
| 5 | Website URL | Optional |
| 6 | Send Password | 0 = don't email, 1 = email password |
| 7+ | Sites/Tags | Child site URLs or tag names |
Upload the CSV file to your Dashboard. Check **CSV file contains a header** if you kept line 1 from the sample. Click **Import Users**.
MainWP requires CSV format. TXT and other text formats will not work.
***
## Edit Existing Users
Go to **MainWP > Users > Manage Users** and search for the user.
In the search results, locate the user and click **Edit** in the Actions column.
Modify the user information and save changes.
***
To change the password for the connected administrator account on selected Child Sites, go to [Admin Passwords](/sites/users/admin-passwords).
***
## Delete Users
### Delete a Single User
Go to **MainWP > Users > Manage Users** and search for the user.
In the search results, locate the user and click **Delete** in the Actions column.
### Bulk Delete Users
Go to **MainWP > Users > Manage Users** and search for the users you want to delete.
Check the checkbox next to each user you want to delete.
Select **Delete** from the **Bulk Actions** dropdown and click **Apply**.
***
## Important Limitations
### Cannot Delete Connection User
MainWP prevents deleting the administrator account used to establish the connection with a child site. To delete this user:
1. Go to **MainWP > Sites > Manage Sites**
2. Edit the child site settings
3. Change the connected administrator to a different user
4. Delete the original user
### Content Attribution
When you delete a user who authored posts or pages, their content is automatically attributed to the connection administrator. To change authorship to a different user, bulk-edit the content directly in the child site's WP Admin.
