Adding a User in Admin

If you already have a list of members and their email addresses, you can add them to your site and they will be automatically sent their login details by email. When they next login to the site they will be asked to complete their full profile information. This is an extremely useful feature, when you need to collect / store additional profile information about site members.

Navigate to Admin > User Accounts

Click on the Add New User Link

You will then see this page.

User Name: the name the user needs to login with

First Name: the users first name

Last Name: the users last name

Display Name: the name that gets displayed when the user is logged on.

Email Address: the users email address

Authorize: Check this and the new user will be automatically authorized

Notify: Check this and the new user will receive an email letting them know that they have been added to your site

Randon Password: Check this to set a random password (recommended)

 

Click on Add New User and the user will be added to the system and if you have checked the notify box they will also receive a welcome email.

When the user logs on to your site they will be asked to complete the remainder of their profile information which you have set-up using the Profile Manager. They will be required to enter the fields you have set as required in User Accounts / Manager User Profiles.
