Manage Users

This section (Administration > Manage Users > Add new user) allows you to view, add, edit and delete Control Panel user accounts.

This is where you will create additional users with access so they can perform tasks such as uploading documents and images under their own account.

The Add New User function allows you to create new user accounts for access to the Control Panel.

Click Add New User
Enter the required data for the new user account before clicking save.
If successful you will get a User successfully created confirmation

The user will no longer show under Manage Users

Manage User Roles

This section (Administration > Roles) allows you to create roles that can be assigned to users, restricting their access to parts of the Control Panel.

Note: The Administrator role cannot be edited or deleted. All users are initially assigned this role which allows access to all Control Panel functions.

The Delete function allows you to remove an existing custom role.

On the confirmation dialog choose OK or Cancel to abort the operation

Note: If the role you deleted was assigned to users, those users will have no role assigned meaning they can't access any of the Control Panel functionality until a new role is assigned
