You can add new users to your site and control what they have have access to. When your site is first set-up, the primary contact for your organization is automatically added as a super administrator. This person can then add new users to the site.

First, log-in to your Mambo site with your Onyen and Onyen password. Then
"Site Administration" button on the user menu. Login again to the back-end adminstration page.

You will then see the Control Panel. The User Manager icon is in the bottom row. Click it. When the User Manager page loads, click the  "New" icon near the top of the screen. Fill out the User Details. If your new administrator has an Onyen, make sure to use it in the
"username" field, and check the "Use ONYEN password" box. You can leave
the "New Password" and "Verify Password" fields blank.

Finally, choose a group for the new user. The group sets the level of access control and rights for your site. See below for information about the various group settings. Check over the rest of the form for mistakes, and make sure to click the "Save" icon at the top-right.

Back-end users:

The Super Administrator group has access to all of the backend (admin) functions. Users in this group cannot be changed into another group.

The Administrator group has a slightly restricted access to the backend (admin)
functions. A user in this group cannot:

• add or edit a user in the Super Administrator group
• access the Global Configuration settings
• access the Mass Mail function
• manage/install Templates
• manage/install Language files

The Manager group is generally restricted to matters of content creation. A user in this
group, in addition to the restrictions for an Administrator, cannot:

• manage Users
• install Modules
• install Components
• access some Components (as determined by the Super Administrator)

Front-end users:

A Registered user can not access the back-end adminstration pages. They also have greatly restricted access to content creation and can only submit articles and events if the permissions for that are set to allow registered users. A good use of registered users is to allow people to post in your forums, but not create or manage any site content

An Author can submit new content and edit things they have written that have been published. Their content submissions must be approved by a Publisher in order to have them appear on the site.

An Editor can create new content and edit anything on the site, but they can not publish content.

A Publisher can edit anything in the site, create new content and approve items for publication.

You can use the access control setting on the events calendar, forums, document manager, photo gallery and menu items to decide which user groups can access  a specific area of your site.
