You may see both names used while we update the product, documentation, and customer experience. ## **Overview** Solid Security Pro provides WP-CLI commands to manage security settings, monitor activity, and configure various protection features directly from the command line. This document outlines the available commands, their usage, and options. ## **Prerequisites** - Ensure WP-CLI is installed. – [https://wp-cli.org/](https://wp-cli.org/) - Verify Solid Security Pro is active on your WordPress installation. (Solid Security Basic does not support WP-CLI) - Use an administrator-level WordPress user account to execute commands. ## **Commands** ### **General Commands** While in your WordPress installation, run `wp itsec ` in the command line. Below are the subcommands to manage Solid Security Pro functionality: ``` ban                         browser                  Analyse the User-Agent with the Browser library.   change-admin-user        Changes the "admin" username and/or the user id of 1.   dashboard                Configure dashboards.   events                   View events scheduled by Solid Security.   feature-flag                firewall                    generate-password        Generates a random password.   geo                      Access geolocation functionality.   getlockouts              Retrieve active lockouts.   getrecent                List the most recent log items   import-export               lockout                     log                         map                      Access the static map image API.   modules                  Enable and disable Solid Security modules.   nc                       Manage and configure all the notifications sent by Solid Security.
