Figure 1: User options
On your Joomla site, you can create as many users as you would like. You can also allow visitors to
register themselves. Depending on the their permissions, users can create their own content and/or view
content that has been created for them in particular.
User options
The form has three tabs
•
Component
In this area you are able to configure whether a registration is possible or not. One of the new features
since Joomla 1.6 is the possibility to configure in which user group the guests are in and in which user
group the registered users are in by default.
•
Mass mail
It is possible to send a mass mail to your users. In this tab you can configure the static email settings.
•
Permissions
In this tab you can manage the permission settings for every user group.
Log in
Visitors can register on the website. Joomla, therefore, offers a login module, which can be positioned
at the site (Figure 2).
