Creating a New User

This How-to applies to: 2.1

Learn the steps to create a new user for your site

Note: managers need to be logged in to perform these steps

  1. Click on the Site Setup link, usually found near the Site Map and/or Contact links
  2. Select User and Groups Administration
  3. From here you can Search for an existing user or Show All to view everyone
  4. Click the Add New User button
  5. Enter all the person's information, including a password and a valid email
  6. Click the Register button to add the new user

The user has been created can now log in. Keep in mind though, newly created users are only given the Member role to start with. You must Search or Show All to find the new entry, if you want to change their role to Reviewer or Manager.
