How to create an account
Prerequisites
You must be an administrator.
From the user accounts page:
- Click the Create account button at the bottom of the page – the create a user account panel opens on the right.
- Enter the new member’s:
- First name.
- Surname.
- Email address – when the email address has been entered, the “Send a welcome email option” is selected – clear by clicking the checkbox.
- The welcome email instructs the new member on choosing their own username and password,
but for testing they can be set by entering:
- username, and
- password – it’s best to choose a strong password.
- A link in the welcome email activates the account but to bypass this for testing, click the Automatically activate account checkbox.
- Click the Create account button – you see confirmation that the account was successfully created.
- Close the panel by clicking the icon in the top right corner.
