 * Hi everyone… I’m trying to make a multi site (same site but different languages)
   and I need it to be available to all users, but when I make an account, it can
   only log in but has no access to any other content (ex. user dashboard)…
 * We checked the database and there is only one users field (I thought it might
   have made a different one).
 * How can I fix this?
 * P.S. I chose this option because the UI needs to be in the user defined language,
   and with translators plugins it translates the added content too, which needs
   to remain in the original language.

 * This is by design: in a **_Multisite_**, each subsite is a full and independent
   WordPress site, with its own theme, its own set of plugins, and its own users.
 * It was even previously called WPMU or WordPress Multi-User, a “user” being an_**
   independent**_ blog owner. This was the “gold rush” days of blogging when “blog
   networks” were the way to make money online, and everybody and their dog offered
   a blog hosting service!
 * So users (other than SuperAdmins) need to be added to the specific subsite to
   grant them any privileges on the subsite.
 * If you’re working with a handful of internal users (and languages), it’s probably
   best to do this manually from the dashboard. Of course, you could do so as well
   via a plugin, or manually run SQL or PHP code.
 * The [Mmultisite User Role Ranager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-user-role-manager/)
   plugin allows you to do this mapping from one screen, rather than having to log
   in to each subsite to add the user. This plugin hasn’t been updated in a while:
   but I just tested it and it still works. Use at your own risk though 😀
 * **UPDATE:**
 * Here’s an actively maintained plugin that solves a similar problem, though I’ve
   not tested it: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-multisite-user-sync/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-multisite-user-sync/)
