New Users
New user accounts can be created in a number of ways.
1.
Visitors to your website can register their own user account by
going to your websites user registration page. Note that it is
possible to close the registration page in Settings -> Users.
2.
A new user account is also created automatically when a
visitor places their first order through the shopping cart or
posts a comment on an article for the first time.
3.
It is also possible to add a new user account manually - see
below.
Once a user account has been registered that person will in future
need to login to place orders or make posts using the same email
address associated with the user account.
Adding a New User Manually
A new user account can be manually added on this page. Usually
this is used to add new admin user accounts.
Only two fields are required to add a new user account: name and
email address.
You can specify a password or let the system generate one
automatically.
You can select which user groups this new user is a member of. For
example you can select an admin user group to give the user admin
privileges.
If you want the system to automatically send an email with login
details check the “Email new account confirmation” box or you can
leave it unchecked if you would prefer to email them yourself later.
