Admin with Powershell

  • Hi,
    Not sure if this is possible, my googling hasn’t found an option yet.
    Is it possible via a plugin, windows app or direct to be able to perform admin actions such as create/disable/remove user accounts?
    I am just trying to reduce the amount of double entry for creating users in our network.

    Thanks for any suggestions
    Ian

  • You can manage users with the WordPress.com Desktop App. I think you’ll need the JetPack plugin to add your self-hosted WordPress site though.

    And if you really want to use Powershell (as your post title says), see this post: https://blog.darrenjrobinson.com/using-wordpress-apis-with-powershell/

    Good luck!

    You can use WP-CLI
    https://wp-cli.org/

    It does work via PHP executable, so it does not really matter what OS is used as host, if it is able to run PHP and WordPress

    Hi,
    Thanks for the input. I will have a look at those options.
    My goal in my head was to have a single entry point where I add a users name, title, groups, drives etc and which systems they require access to and then the script/tool/process creates the required accounts in various systems (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, ZOHO, WordPress etc) depending on what they need.
    I’ll be running this on a windows desktop so PowerShell was my default go-to as the scripting method. If need be I could use it to then call other tools if they accept command line options or I could save the fields to something like a CSV and then call a tool with the csv as input. etc etc.. many potential paths.
    I just want to enter the user details once rather than repeat it in every system.

    Thanks
    Ian

    wp-cli would seem to be the way to go.
