What Details We Need?
Once you have created a new user, we need the following 3 details –

Why Do We Need an Administrator Role?
Always share administrator-level access as we might need to update any files of our plugin, enable/disable plugins/themes, and other advanced technical stuff.
Permission to enable/disable any plugin or theme to troubleshoot if required. We might need to install a few safe and popular plugins(Which will be installed directly from WordPress.org) such as file manager, debug manager to get error log or troubleshoot in depth.
If you want us not to touch any of your plugins or theme or current settings, Add that in a note while submitting a ticket.
