Users & Roles

Users are all people visiting your website. They can just flp though the content of your website or they can comment, rate and even add and edit articles. All users can have a registered account on your website.

All users that have a registered account can be divided into Staff and Members. Members are your website's visitors who can read entire articles, receive your newsletter, rate articles or post comments, while Staff are members with privileges to post articles.
In order for you to grant or deny permissions of accessing parts of your website or adding, deleting and editing content of your website, you can add users do predefined user groups (roles) or create your own user groups with custom permissions. You can add unlimited number of user groups.

Who are Users?

By default casual visitors are allowed to register themselves on your website to gain access to additional resources. For example, registered users might be allowed to submit news items or web links. Each registered user account belongs to a user group. The user group’s privileges define the tasks associated that users can perform and you can these privileges with a great deal of precision. Your Vivvo website implements a user registration policy which can be adapted to suit your particular requirements so you decide what additional resources are made available. You can disable user registration altogether if you prefer.

Users register themselves on your website using the "New member? Register now" link on the Login module. Once registered, users will log in to your website by entering their username and password using the same form. There are also links on the form to manage users who forget their usernames or passwords. If you use the Login module you can assign the module so that it appears on one or more pages in any module position.
