 * To be absolutely clear: if I grant Admin access to a developer he/she can NOT
   take over my site and kick me out as Admin? PS. I’m going to take a backup before
   granting access anyway!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fany-risks%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@bibeldans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bibeldans/),
 * If you give Admin access to a temporary user, they will have control over everything
   that an admin can manage. However, the **primary admin of the website will always
   remain protected**. 
   Temporary admin accounts cannot delete the primary admin
   if they try, they will see an error like “You are not allowed to view this page.”
 * Always taking a backup beforehand, as you mentioned, is still a great precaution.
 * Best regards,

 * Temporary admin accounts cannot change the primary admin password eiter, I assume.
   Am I right?
