## What is the add_users permission in WordPress?

This permission has been retired and it is only still available for backwards compatibility.

Instead of using add_users, we recommend that you use the [create_users](https://publishpress.com/links/create-users) permission.

Here's a list of all the WordPress users permissions:

- [create_users](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/create_users/)
- [delete_users](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/delete-users/)
- [edit_users](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/edit-users/)
- [list_users](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/list_users/)
- [promote_users](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/promote_users/)
