Creating backoffice users

Every user of the backoffice must be registered first so that this user could sign in and perform any operations in the backoffice according to their permissions. User permissions are defined by the user group to which the user is assigned. Before assigning a backoffice user to a user group, the user must be registered in the backoffice first.

 

  Important

Be cautious when creating new users. Once a user is created, they cannot be deleted from the backoffice—only disabled—since their associated content remains linked to them. 

To add a new backoffice user

  1. In the backoffice, go to Users > Users.
  2. In the User management window, select the Create user button.
  3. Fill in the fields as described below.
    • Name - Specifies the username that will be used to sign in to Xpand Portal backoffice. Both username and email can be used to sign in to the backoffice.
    • Email - Specifies the email that will be used to sign in to Xpand Portal. Both username and email can be used to sign in to the backoffice.
    • User group - Specifies the CMS user group(s) that this user will be assigned to. This user group defines permissions of the user in the backoffice. Select Add, select one or several user groups, and then select Submit.
  4. Select Create user.
  5. Copy the generated password on the page that appears. The administrator can change the password later if necessary.

The created user will be added to the list of backoffice users. The user will be inactive until they sign in to the backoffice.
