How to Provide Access to a CMS in WordPress, Magento, and Laravel

1. WordPress:

To grant access to WordPress, follow these steps:

Creating an Administrator Account:

1. Log in to the WordPress admin panel.
2. Go to “Users” → “Add New”.
3. Fill in the fields:
   • Username: Create a login for the new user.
   • Email: Enter the email address of the person you’re granting access to.
   • Role: Select “Administrator” for full access.
4. Click “Add New User”.
5. The new user will receive an email with login details.

Restricted Access (View-only for site structure):

1. Install a plugin such as User Role Editor.
2. Create a custom role with limited permissions:
   • Go to “Users” → “User Role Editor”.
   • Set up a role that allows only viewing.
3. Add a new user and assign them this role.

2. Magento (commonly Magento 2):

Creating an Administrator Account:

1. Log in to the Magento admin panel.
2. Go to System → Permissions → All Users.
3. Click “Add New User”.
4. Fill in the fields:
   • Username: A unique login.
   • Email: The user’s email address.
   • User Role: Select “Administrator”.
5. Save the user. They will receive access credentials.

Restricted Access (e.g., view-only):

1. Go to System → Permissions → User Roles.
2. Create a new role with limited permissions.
3. Assign this role to the user via All Users → Edit User.

3. Laravel (usually custom CMS):

Granting Access via the Database:

If the CMS is built on Laravel, use these methods:

• Via Admin Panel (if available):
  1. Log in to the Laravel admin panel.
  2. Navigate to the users section (e.g., “Users” or “Accounts”).
  3. Create a new user and assign them the administrator or a restricted role.
• If no admin panel exists:
  1. Provide access to the server or database.
  2. Add a user manually in the database (usually in the users table):
     • Insert a new user with an admin role.
     • Ensure the password is hashed (use bcrypt for hashing).

Access to Code and Structure:

1. If you need to grant access to the source code, share repository access (GitHub, GitLab).
2. Provide hosting access (e.g., cPanel or SSH) for reviewing files.
