Wordpress API：添加超级用户（站点管理员）

Question

I can add an administrator like this:

$password = wp_generate_password();
$userData = array(
    'user_pass'     => $password,
    'user_login'    => $email,
    'user_nicename' => sanitize_title($name),
    'user_email'    => $email,
    'display_name'  => $name,
    'role'      => 'administrator'
);
$user_id = wp_insert_user($userData);

That works fine, but how do I add a super user? What is the role name?

I tried 'role' => 'super user', 'super_user', 'superuser', ... but nothing works.

The other answers are basically correct, but it is better to use built-in functions from WordPress whenever possible. The function you are looking for is grant_super_admin().

Based on your example code:

$password = wp_generate_password();
$userData = array(
    'user_pass'     => $password,
    'user_login'    => $email,
    'user_nicename' => sanitize_title($name),
    'user_email'    => $email,
    'display_name'  => $name,
    'role'          => 'administrator'
);
$user_id = wp_insert_user($userData);

// Make the user a super admin.
grant_super_admin( $user_id );
