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.
