Admin Users Management

The Admin Users Management page allows the administrator to add other administrative accounts to the system. Adding an administrative account lets users log in with the new information into the administrative area. Account access (which pages can be accessed by the account) are configured using the Admin Users Access page. The main page is shown in the figure below:

Viewing users

All of the administrative users are shown in a table, marked as in the figure above. Each column corresponds to a different piece of information regarding the user.

• Username - username of the account.
• Administrator rights - controls whether the user can see the Administrator's Menu or not. If set to "Yes" the user can see the Administrator's Menu. Otherwise, he cannot.
• User's status - determines whether the user has an enabled or disabled account.

Creating new users

To create a new user click the Create link, located at the top of the page (adjacent to ). You will be taken to a new page with a form identical to the one shown below.

You will need to enter all the information to create a new user. The field descriptions are as follows:

• Username - username you want the new user to log into the administrative area with
• Password - password you want the new user to log in with
• Confirmation - confirm the password you entered in the Password field
• User has adminstrator rights
  • Yes - allows the new admin user to see the Administrator's Menu and to create new users. This is essentially a super user account identical to your main admin account.
  • No - does not allow the new admin user to see the Administrator's Menu.
• Log user events
  • Yes - logs every admin action to a text file.
  • No - does not log actions into a text file (recommended).
• User's status
  • Normal - allows the admin to log in and perform all tasks.
  • Access denied - locks the admin out of accessing the admin area entirely.
  • Change password - forces the admin user to change his/her password on the next login.

   

After you have completed the form click the OK button to create the user.
