Adding users (manual or self-registration)
Adding users
manually
Typically, adding users manually is great for controlled
environments such as small businesses, organizations, or
clubs where users are "known."
For each user group that is created, a group of users can be
added to each user group by manual entry or import from a
comma-delimited text file by the web manager.
It's possible to use either one user login (everyone uses the
same login) or create a login per user for more user control
(e.g., for membership lists).
Self-
registration
user sign up
Conversely, user sign up is intended for more public
access where controlling users is impractical—the user can
simply register then sign in using their login credentials.
The web manager still has the option to manage those
users within their groups via the User List Smart object.
This method requires an on-screen login box to be placed
on the page (normally a master page).
