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.
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).
To add a user manually:
1. From the Insert menu, select Smart Object.
2. With your User List Smart object selected in the My Smart objects
Library pane, click the object's Manage button to reveal the Users
dialog.
3. From the Add New User section at the bottom of the dialog, enter the
user's email address in the Email box.
