Add/Edit user

Add new user (author)

To add a new user you need to log in to your administration area (from the main administrative menu choose Users -> Add new User link). You may also find new user creation link at quick link menu in the Users section.

When clicked on +Add new user, user creation page will load containing user options menu on the left.

• Status - There are two options Active and Inactive. You can set this to inactive if you don't want the specified user to have access to your site (to log in).
• Privileges - Here you can set the group for your user. The options are: Admin, Editor, Trusted Writer, Writer, Member and Premium Member. To see the difference between privileges of the user groups please check out the previous chapter.
• Category - Here you may chose a category/subcategory that user may access or submit an article to if he is a part of the staff user group.

When finished with setting up these options go to user creation form on your right. Here we need to insert some details about our user.

• First name - Put here the name of user
• Last name - Put here the name of user
• Username - With this option, our user can log in to your website (for example john).
• Password and Retype Password - Insert the password and confirm it. The user can change the password later if he wants to.
• E-mail - Insert here his e-mail address so you can send him the password in case the user forgets it.
• Picture (optional) - You may upload a picture of your author. To delete uploaded image click on delete icon.
• Short bio (optional) - Here you may enter information about your user.
• Website (optional) - If your user has his/her own website enter its address here.

Now you can save your work.

Click on Save button and you're done!

Each user has his/her detailed page with a public access where visitors can see the author details such as bio, contributed articles, home page, email address, and a picture.

Manage users (authors) and privileges

When your user administration panel loads after you choose User from the main administrative menu on your right user management panel will load.

User management panel enables you to manage administrators, editors, writers and members, set their privileges, status, or even delete them if necessary.

For easier administration, you may sort your users by their full name or their username.

You may also choose from the dropdown menu how many users you want displayed within a browser screen.

To View/edit a user click on the edit icon that you may find on the right side of the user name. Edit user form will load and you will be able to change all of the user details.

Change user permissions

You may change user permissions by marking a checkbox on the left of the username then select appropriate permission for your user from the Select action dropdown menu

Change user status

To change user status, mark checkbox on the left of your user and select desired status for your user from the select action dropdown menu.

Delete user

To delete a user select the user(s), using the check box, and from the set action dropdown menu select Delete. You will remove the user(s) permanently.

You may also choose Soft delete option from the dropdown menu. This will disable your user to use any of your resources just like if he/she was deleted permanently, without actually being deleted from your database. This is a very useful Vivvo option. For example, when you permanently delete your user you will lose all data about him, but soft delete will save his data so if you find your new user suspicious you may check if he/she is on your banned list (if he/she was deleted once before).

You may also permanently delete your user by clicking on the Delete button positioned on the right side of the username

You may change user permissions or status for more than one or even all users in a moment by marking the checkboxes on the left or by selecting all users link at the top of the user management panel.
