[bearbeiten] Users → Authors & Users

You can create new users and manage the accounts of all your site's users at this Authors & Users SubPanel.

The Authors & Users SubPanel has two roles: one for User Listing and Adding and another for User Editing.

Back to Administration Panels.

[bearbeiten] User Listing and Adding

Listing and Adding is the default role for this SubPanel.

[bearbeiten] Table of Authors

WordPress makes a distinction between Authors and "lesser" users. An author is a user who can post content to your blog. Any user with a User Level greater than 0 is considered an author. In this section of the SubPanel, WordPress lists all of the authors of your blog as rows in a table with the following columns.

• ID - The user ID of this author. All users have a unique identification number which WordPress uses to identify users internally. It is not terribly significant from a typical user's point of view. It can be handy to know, however, if you are writing a new template and are using the_author and related Template Tags.
• Nickname - The nickname of the user as defined by his or her profile.
• Name - The first and last names of the author, if specified in her or his profile.
• E-mail - The author's e-mail address.
• Website - The website of the author, if specified in his or her profile.
• Level - The User Level of the author. If the author has a lower User Level than you do, you will also see in this column "+" and "-" links which can be used to increase and decrease the author's User Level, respectively. You have the ability to increase an Author's User Level up to one less than your own User Level.
• Posts - The number of posts written by this author and a link which, when clicked, will take you to the Manage Posts SubPanel and list all of those posts.
• Edit - If the author has a lower User Level than you do, there will be a link titled Edit. When this linked is clicked, the SubPanel switches to its editing role and allows you to edit the information found in that author's profile.

Note: Authors cannot be deleted. To delete an author, you must first decrease her or his User Level to 0 by using the above "-" link found in that author's Level column. Once at a User Level of 0, she or he will instead be listed below in the Table of Registered Users. From there, the user (once Author) can be deleted.

[bearbeiten] Table of Registered Users

Your blog may have other, non-author, users registered. These are all of the users whose User Level is 0. If there are any such users, they are all listed as rows in this table, the first five columns of which are the same as in the above Table of Authors. The following columns are specific to this Table of Registered Users.

• Promote - This link will promote the user to a User Level of 1, thus granting him or her author status. He or she will then be listed in the Table of Authors.
• Edit - Like the Edit link in the Table of Authors, this link switches the SubPanel into its editing role and allows you to edit the information found in this user's profile.
• Delete - This link will delete the user. All posts belonging to that user will also be deleted. You will be asked to confirm this action, which is good, since it cannot be undone. Tread carefully.

[bearbeiten] Add New User

In this section, you may add a new user to your blog. When new users are created, their initial User Level is determined by the Newly registered members setting in the Writing Options SubPanel of the Options Administration Panel.

If the Newly registered members option is set to:	Then the new user's initial User Level will be:
Cannot write articles	0
May submit drafts for review	1
May publish articles	2

Self Registration

If the Anyone can register option is set in the General Options SubPanel is set, users can register themselves at http://your wordpress url/wp-register.php. Regardless of that option's setting, you can manually create new users here.

Nickname

Required. Enter the nickname of the new user here. This will also be used as the Login name of the new user. If you want the nickname and the login name to be different, type the login name here and then edit the nickname.

First Name

You may enter the first name of the new user here.

Last Name

Likewise, you may enter the last name of the new user in this text box.

E-mail

Required. Enter the e-mail address of the new user here.

Website

You may enter the new user's website URL in this text box.

Password

Required. Enter a password for the new user twice here: once in each text box.

Add User

A very important button. Clicking this will save the new user's information into WordPress' database. If you don't click this button, the user will not be added.

[bearbeiten] Editing Users

If you have a higher User Level than a particular user, you can edit that user's profile in the editing role of this SubPanel. Simply find that user in either the Table of Authors or Table of Registered Users and click their Edit link. The editing role of this SubPanel looks the same as the profile section of the Your Profile SubPanel with only two differences.

1. You may edit the Login name of the user.
2. The button to save the information is labelled "Update User" rather than "Update Profile".
