What is a User?
A user is anyone who may log onto the administrative page of your online publication for the purposes of composing articles, editing, or carrying out any of the privileges of the administration and maintenance of the site.
Accessing Users
To access your list of users, select on the “Users” link in the side bar of the administrative home page. This is the Users page, where all previously entered users appear in a list in alphabetical order. If no users have been entered, this list will be empty. The system will include in this list each user’s name, login identity, and their role or roles within the system. The roles and the privileges that correspond to them can be found on the “Settings” page.
Creating a New User
To create a new user, select the “Create a New User” link at the top of this page next to the green plus sign icon. Only a person logged in as an “admin” user, that is to say, full access and privileges within the system, may create a new user. If you are logged in as another user that does not have admin privileges, logout and log back in under a login with admin privileges before creating a new user. Enter a first name, last name and email address. Select a login ID and a password that that user can remember. Select the roles that that user will have. One or all of the roles may be selected, although each user should be given access only to the roles he or she will need and none that they won’t. Once all the necessary changes to this page have been made, click “Save.” The user will then be able to access the administrative homepage of the system and perform the roles selected for him/her. To make any modifications to any of your users at any time, go to the Users page, find the appropriate user in the list, select that name, make the necessary changes, and then “Save” or “Delete” to delete a user.
