Creating New Users (Joomla 1.5)

There are many reasons for adding additional users to your site. Multiple users can be granted login access to either the front end or the Administration area (the back end) of your site. From there, you (the Super User) can grant them certain permissions for creating content. This article explains how to register new users by creating an account in the back end of your site. First, log in to the back end of your site and go to Site > User Manager.

Once inside the "User Manager", select the "New" button to create a new user.

Complete the account by creating a user-name, password, and so on. You can limit what each new user can do by granting them certain permissions in this area as well.

Your users can also register by themselves. To do that, enable the registration function by going to Site > Global Configuration > System > Allow User Registration.
