MonkCMS Help

Site "Members" are people whose contact information is stored in the CMS either for database purposes or to potentially be given access to make changes to the website. Follow these steps to add new users.

To make changes to Members, your account needs to have Site Administrator access. If you do not have this level of access, contact another member of your team who can provide you this access via the People module.

Adding a single user

1. Navigate to People > Members.
2. Click Add New Member.
3. Provide the user's first and last name.
4. Add the user's email address.
   Note: If the user's email address is already in the system, see this article.
5. Click "Auto-Generate username and password" or provide a username and password. If the username field turns red, this username is already in use.
6. Click Save. The user has been created.

Granting access

By default, all new members have no backend privileges. On the Permissions ("Set login details") screen, you can set the member's login privileges. Here's a quick explanation of the options:

1. Allow login to [your.site.com] (Site Login)
   If checked, the user will be able to log into the frontend website and manage their Member profile.
2. Allow login to [my.monkcms.com] (CMS Login)
   If checked, the user will be able to log into the backend and potentially make changes to the website.
3. This user is a site administrator
   If checked, the user will have access to all modules in the CMS (any permissions Rules will not apply to the user). If the user will not be an administrator, you must create specific permissions Rules for them below. Please see Members & Permissions for more information about these options.
