Ideally, people would register to the site and create their own profiles. However, it may sometimes be necessary for the user profiles to be created manually. Only users with the Admin and Super Admin roles' privileges may add other users to the site.

Go to the Users Panel

1. Navigate to http://www.alternative.ac.nz/admin/user/user
   • You may also navigate from Administer / Users under User Management
2. Click on Add User and you will be brought to a customised registration form where you can start filling in the details for the new account.

Provide the user details

1. Fill in the Account Infromation fields.
   • Make a note of all the fields that have an asterisk - these are compulsory and must be filled in.
   • The Email address is particularly important since this is how the user can be notified with regards to their account.
     • Make sure you provide an email address that they regularly use.
     • Click on the checkbox Notify User of New Account
   • You can opt to either have the users Status to be blocked or active. If it is blocked, the user will not be able to access their account.
2. Fill in the user details for the various field groups:
   • Basic Information
     • Please note that the Name field is distinct form the username - use this field for the user's full name including titles. This is the name that will appear on User Lists that are visible to the public.
   • Biography
   • Contact Details (optional)
   • Postal Address (optional)
3. Click Submit.
