Joomla User manager tutorials


I really like Joomla. Plenty of reasons for anyone to like Joomla. One of the few reasons i like Joomla is because of the simple and powerful backend. Here is another of their backend product, which is the User manager. Please note that, you need to publish the Login module, to let your visitors register and access the user login.

If you want to disable the user register features, you can do it from your admin (SITE---Global configuration)
In the global config, you shall first see the SITE tab.  The sixth option in the site tab, is Allow user registration ,if you say NO, then the registration link from the login module will be taken off. You can manage or assign users manually by navigating to the SITE--USER MANAGER.

Note that if you dont want any activation link to be sent to the user email while registering, just uncheck the option USE NEW ACCOUNT ACTIVATION, you see under the SITE tab in global configuration.

Coming to the core of managing and using User manager, navigate to SITE---USER MANAGER.

Here you shall see the registered users name, email and ID. You can click on their names and assign a new password or change the email or even block the user. You shall see the GROUP option when you click on the registered user. The group shall list you the various user features. You can assign a user to be registered or an author, an editor, administrator or even a super administrator. Note that, when users register, they by default are made registered members only.

To setup a new user manually, you can click the NEW button on the top right under SITE--USER manager.
Clicking the NEW button would open the area to type the name, email,id and password. This way manually you can set users to your website.

Hope the user manager tutorial helped you. Post your questions in the comment box.
