How To Use Persistent Security Admins Option

The Persistent Security Admins option is a part of the Security Admin system, allowing you to assign specific admin users as Security Admins. This means that these admins won't need to authorise with a security admin PIN; they will automatically become Security Admins.

Before you start using this option, please ensure that

  1. Security Admin system is enabled

  2. Specified users have admin role

    (To verify a user’s admin role, please go to the Users page in your WordPress admin area and check their role.)

How to use Persistent Security Admins option

To use this option, please go to the main Security Zones menu > Security Admin > "Zone Actions" menu configuration, and simply add a line to the "Persistent Security Admins" field.

You can include:

  1. Username (e.g., test user 1); or
  2. user email (e.g., test_user2@gmail.com); or
  3. user ID (e.g., 17).

Example

Important Notes

  1. If you add a user who does not have an admin role, the settings will not apply, and the field will remain empty.
  2. If you enter an email address or user ID, it will be converted to the associated username.

After setting up Persistent Security Admins, the next time these listed admin users log in, they will automatically be recognized as Security Admins without needing to enter a security admin PIN.
