Manage Users

The Manage Users page is a table displaying all of the users for your NewsPortal. Here you can create, update, and delete a user. Each type of user has it's own place:

• If you would like to Add a Author, go to Manage Authors under the News function.
• To Add a Forum user, go to Forum Administrators in the Forum section.
• To add a Directory User go to Manage Customers under the Directory section.
• To Add a Classifieds user go to Manage Customers under the Classifieds section.

There is a drop-down menu with three different user roles. Each user role has different permissions options.

• The Publisher has full access, which means they can control everything in the admin area.
• Another role is the Editor, who has restricted access to the admin area. They only have access to: News, Features, RSS Content Sourcing, Business Directory, and the Classifieds.
• The last role is Favorites List. Here they only have access to the Favorites List, where they can add, update, and delete items on the list.
