Description
The Add New Users creates user accounts in bulk directly from the WordPress dashboard, replacing manual one-by-one registration with a form that accepts email lists and automatically generates logins, passwords, and roles. Targeted at those who manage schools, internal teams, multisite agencies, and member communities, the plugin speeds up the addition of dozens or hundreds of accounts simultaneously, with email notifications and predefined role assignment.
