> [@evelynf](#): > > Is there a way to allow admin users to login directly to Discourse outside of SSO so they can manage the site? Yes, if you lock yourself out of Discourse when configuring SSO, go to `http://forum.example.com/u/admin-login`. (Replace `forum.example.com` with your forum’s domain.) Enter your email address into the form on the page and click the link in the email that you are sent. > [@evelynf](#): > > One of my collaborators is able to login with the SSO process but doesn’t see his admin privileges. Once you have logged back into the site, check to see if a new account was created for him. To get logged into an existing account on Discourse, you’ll need to be using the same email address on WordPress as you do for the Discourse account. Have a look at [Debug and fixing common DiscourseConnect issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/debugging-and-fixing-common-sso-issues/103496) to see if it gives you any clues for solving your SSO problems. The issues you are having are probably related to what’s described in the ‘Solving require\_activation SSO login issues’ section of that topic. I don’t think your site is using the default WordPress registration system, so new accounts that have been created since you installed the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin will have the `require_activation` flag set to `true` in the SSO payload. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/basic-forum-access-integration-with-wordpress-site/124811)._
