Sometimes support needs admin access.
A plugin developer may need to check a setting.
A theme author may need to inspect a layout issue.
A maintenance team may need access for a short task.
The usual workflow is risky.
Create a new admin user.
Send the credentials.
Fix the problem.
Forget the account exists.
That last part is the problem.
Admin accounts should not stay around longer than needed. Every extra admin account is another login that can be reused, forgotten, shared, or attacked later.
Temporary access is a better workflow.
Create an admin account only for the task. Give it to the person who needs access. Let it expire automatically when the job is done.
That keeps support work practical without leaving permanent admin users behind.
This is what atec Temp Admin is built for.
It lets you create and manage temporary WordPress admin accounts for maintenance purposes. After creating an account, you can share the credentials with a support team, plugin author, or theme developer. When the timeout is reached, the account is deleted automatically.
Simple idea.
Useful protection.
