Universal User Management Across Sites

Universal User Management Across Sites

mySites.guru lets you manage all your users, across all your sites, from a single page. Change email addresses, reset passwords, assign roles and permissions, block accounts. No logging into each site individually.

This is part of the mySites.guru dashboard, which covers unlimited Joomla, WordPress, and PHP sites for £19.99 per month.

The idea behind Universal User Management

Password resets without the runaround

Your client calls to say they’ve forgotten their password. Before mySites.guru, you’d have to go to their website, remember your own credentials, log in, find their user account, reset the password, and relay the new one back to them.

With Universal User Management, you can:

  • Go to Universal User Management (find it in the left menu, or press Shift twice to open the command palette)
  • Search by name or email address
  • Click edit next to their user account
  • Change the password
  • Save - done

Step 2: Select one or more user accounts found across your sites, or click edit to update a specific user

💡 That's it - password reset done in seconds, not minutes.

Revoking access for a departing team member

A staff member leaves your agency, maybe on bad terms, and you need to find every client site they have access to. Search their name or email address and you get back a list of every site where they have an account. Reset the password or block them across all of those sites at once.

Bulk name changes

A user gets married and wants their new surname updated across all their accounts. Universal User Management handles that across hundreds of sites in one go.

Role and permission changes

Need to change someone from editor to administrator across all their sites? Search, edit, save. Same process works in reverse if you need to downgrade permissions.

Searching for suspicious accounts

Investigating a compromised account? Search all users on all sites by name, email address, or email domain to track down suspicious or unauthorized accounts.

Got a different use case?

There are plenty more situations where searching and editing users across sites comes in handy. If you’ve got one we haven’t thought of, let us know.

The full list

  • Search users across all connected sites by name or email
  • Edit email addresses, passwords, names, and roles
  • Log in as any user on any site using mySites.guru AutoLogin

On the roadmap

  • Block a user across sites (WordPress has no built-in concept of blocking, so this needs custom handling)
  • Remove two-factor authentication from a Joomla user
  • Retrieve 2FA backup codes from a Joomla user so you can give your client a one-time login to re-enable it

Managing your team’s access to mySites.guru itself is handled separately through the team management feature.
