  • Don’t be sorry.

    Setting up an administrator account to your WordPress-Backend will give a person of your trust complete access to the backend of your website.

    Mails (or any kind of data) saved on your server, should not be visible there (except if in your setup that is the case!).

    Go to your Backend: Users > Add New and create the account. Set the role to administrator and the person should recieve a confirmation mail. You can either give them their password or he/she can reset it as soon as the account is created.

    Best,

    Hi, @ktosiex

    To ensure secure access for a maintenance person to your webpage while preventing access to emails on the server, you can take the following steps:

    Create a new user account with limited permissions for the maintenance person.
    Assign the new user account to a group with access to the necessary files and directories for the webpage but not to the email server or email accounts.
    Implement file and directory permissions to restrict access to the new user and the group’s email server and email accounts.
    Utilize a firewall to block access to the email server and email accounts for the new user’s IP address.
    Continuously monitor the new user’s activity to guarantee they do not access any unauthorized areas.
    Maintain a log of all activities the maintenance person performs and review it regularly.
    Before granting access to any third party, ensure a proper backup of your website, emails, and other vital data.
    Thank you.
