Users
Overview
Sitefinity CMS users are users who can conduct content management and/or administrative tasks within a given website project. Only a user with the Manage Users permission can manage users.
For more information about granting permissions, see Permissions.
When you create and start a project, the user you choose as the project administrator is the first user created by the system. This user is automatically assigned the Administrators role and is granted full global, content modules, and sitemap permissions.
For more information, see CRUD operations with roles.
IMPORTANT: Before creating any users, you must set the password requirements and password recovery requirements. For more information, see Set password requirements.
Users page
You manage users on the Users page.
- To open the Users page, in the main menu of Sitefinity CMS backend, click Administration » Users.
- To filter users from different providers, use the tabs above the toolbar of Users page.
The tabs with different providers appear only if you have more than one provider created.
- To display users assigned only to specific roles, use the links in the Users by role pane.
- To manage user profile types, click Manage Profile types on the Users page.
For more information, see User profiles.
NOTE: On the Users page, you can also see which users are Online and Offline. Online users are the users who are currently logged in or their authentication cookie has not expired yet. Offline users are those who are not logged in and need to authenticate on their next login attempt. You can also see when a user was registered in Sitefinity CMS and when they last logged in.
