Part 4  – Manually creating and updating users 

Manually creating users

Users can be created manually in ‘User management’ in Administration. These users can only log in with their email and password, as the authname field is not provided.

To add users this way, you must enter the following details:

• Username
• Email
• Password (manual or generated)

If you plan on users authenticating via SSO in the future, please import users instead.

Notifying new users

When this option is checked, then a user that has been created manually and assigned a manual  password will receive an email notifying them that their account has been created.

When this option is unchecked, then a user that has been created manually and assigned a manual  password will not receive an email notifying them that their account has been created.
