You must have access to the Account section and Manage Users permission to add and edit users.

Create as many new users as you need for your team members to access WordFly. Each person should have their own user account and login. Use account permissions to control which features they can view and use.

  • An email will be sent to the new user with login details. The email has the subject line Welcome to WordFly and the from/reply-to address is buzz@wordfly.com.
  • Missing the welcome email? Try checking the spam folder. You can also add the from/reply-to address buzz@wordfly.com to your safe senders list and use the Forgot Password link to send a new password.
  • Each new user should have their own login. No shared logins, please.
