Create Users in EPiServer CMS

If you have chosen to work with users and groups in EPiServer CMS, you must create each separate user. If you have developed such a function, it may be possible to allow visitors to create their own user accounts. Using Create User, you can set up users in EPiServer CMS.

Create a user

1. Select Create User on the Admin tab.
2. For the account to work and the user to be able to log in, a user name, password and e-mail address must be specified and it must be specified that the account is active.
3. Select which group or groups they are to belong to.
4. Specify which system language the user should have and which buttons and icons are to be available to the editors in Edit mode in the Display Options tab. Editors can manage this setting themselves from Edit mode.
5. Click Save, at the top of the page.

Editing Users

All users created in a database can be edited. It can be a case of changing a password or similar. To edit a user's details, search for the user under Search User/Group and then edit the user. All individuals with access to Edit mode can modify a number of their details under My Settings. You can edit more information in Admin mode, including when the account is to be active, which group the user is a member of, etc.

These properties can only be modified for users that have been created via self-registration or via Create User. If you want to edit this type of information when the user is created in another directory service, you must do it with this tool. From Admin mode, you can change the same information on an external user as the user themselves can do via Edit mode.

Edit a user

1. Select Search User/Group.
2. Select the user you want to edit by clicking the username.
3. Make your changes in the form.
4. Click Save.

Deleting Users

If there are users in EPiServer CMS that no longer need access to your website via login, it is appropriate to delete them.

Delete a user

1. Select Search User/Group.
2. Select the user you want to delete by clicking the username.
3. Click Delete at the top of the page.
4. Confirm that you want to delete the user in the pop-up dialog box.
