Creating a New User

Before you can assign a user to a user group, you must add the user to the system. To create a new user, follow these steps.

Access the User folder, as described in Accessing the User Folder.
Click the Add User button ( ).
The Add a New User to the System screen appears.

Enter the following information about the user.


Field	Description
Username	Insert a username for the user you want to create.
First Name	Enter the first name of the user.
Last Name	Enter the last name of the user.
Password	Enter a password for the user.
Confirm Password	Confirm the password by typing it again.
User Language	Select the language in which the user will view Ektron CMS400.NET screens and messages. The language also determines the default value whenever a drop-down list of languages appears within Ektron CMS400.NET. The dropdown list of choices at this field is derived from the Language Settings screen, available from the Settings> Configuration folder. Do not confuse the system language with the user's ability to create and edit foreign editions of content blocks. This field does not prevent a user from working with multiple language content blocks. See Also: Multi-Language Support Note: If the selected language is not English, French or German, it is only supported after you download the Ektron CMS400.NET Language Support Program from Ektron and translate the Web site.
Email Address	Enter the email address of the user.
Disable Email Notification	Select to disable the email notifications for the user. If you do, the user will not receive the automatic email notification described in Automatic eMail Notification. However, this field has no effect on the user's ability to receive instant email.

Note

If email notification is turned off in the setup page, you are notified when editing, adding, or viewing a user.

Click the Save button ( ).
The View Users in Group Everyone screen appears with the new user included in the table.

Note

When you add a new user, he is automatically placed in the Everyone user group. To assign users to other groups, see Assigning Users To User Groups.
