Users

People visiting your web site have the ability to create an account, log in, participate in whatever they have permissions to participate in, and log out. There is a lot of power in the drupal user management system.

In order to administer the users on your site head to

Administration menu » User management » Users

Viewing Users

There you will see a list of users registered on your web site. You can easily view user information by simply clicking on their username. You will see details about how long they have been a member for and other information related to this user depending on the functionality of your website. There may be very little information here if you're using the basic functions that come with drupal or a whole user profile with pictures, personal info, and more if you have requested additional user features to be added to your site.

Editing Users

While viewing a user's profile you should notice a tab by their username at the top that says "Edit". The edit button is also found on the user list we were at before.

Depending on your user permissions you can change username, password, time zone settings, and more again depending on how many features are set up to be used on your site.

Adding Users

There are a few ways to add new users. The first is obvious, a user can simply create a new account on your site which will then create a new user for them. You can also manually create new users by going here:

Administration menu » User management » Users » Add user

There's more than one way to get here but for this guide's sake, that's the easiest. Simply enter in all the required information, hit "Create New Account" and voila! You have a new user.
