Accessing User Management

The User Management feature in WP Spotlight provides a quick and efficient way to manage users on your WordPress site. With a few key presses, you can view, search, and navigate to user profiles based on specific roles or email addresses, enabling you to streamline administrative tasks. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to access and utilize the User Management feature.

Accessing User Management

Open WP Spotlight: Use the main key bind Alt+S (Check key bind customization to set your own keyboard shortcut)

Select Users:

• If you have a dedicated key bind set up for Users (default: Alt+U), you can directly pull up the Users section.
• Alternatively, select Users from the main WP Spotlight menu by opening the search and clicking on the “Users” option.

Navigating User Roles

Upon selecting Users, you’ll see a list of user roles registered on your WordPress site, such as:

• Administrator
• Editor
• Author
• Subscriber
• Contributor

Each role acts as a filter, allowing you to quickly access and manage users within a specific role.

Viewing and Managing Users by Role

Select a Role: Click on any role to view a list of email addresses assigned to users in that role.

Access User Profile: Click on an email address to be taken directly to that user’s profile page within WordPress, where you can view or edit details as needed.

Searching for Users by Email

In addition to browsing by role, you can search for specific users directly by their email addresses.

Enter an Email in the Search Bar: Once you have selected Users(Alt+S), type the email address you’re looking for in the search bar.

View User Role Associations:

WP Spotlight will show a list of all the roles this email is registered under.

For example, searching [email protected] may display results like:

• Administrator > [email protected]
• Author > [email protected]
• Subscriber > [email protected]

Go to Profile: Click on any of the role entries to go directly to the corresponding user profile.

Example Workflow: Editing User Roles and Information

Suppose you need to edit a user’s details or check permissions for a specific role. Here’s how you might use WP Spotlight:

1. Open WP Spotlight with the main shortcut.
2. Use the Users shortcut or select it from the search options.
3. Choose a role, like Editor, to view all users within that role.
4. Click on the user’s email to go to their WordPress profile page, where you can make edits or adjust their permissions.

This user-focused management capability in WP Spotlight saves you time and keeps your workflow organized by letting you work directly with user data when and where you need it.
