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.
