how can i create new users for my advanced blog?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

BLOG, or web-LOG, is basically a journal that is available on the Web. With Aplus.Net Advanced Blog you can easily publish your daily thoughts and favorite quotes and share them with your Web site’s visitors. Through the multi-user feature that the Advanced Blog offers visitors can also publish on the Web having different access levels. These visitors, called new users, are assigned by you as you are the administrator of the Advanced Blog.

Here’s how you can create new users who can post entries and/or comments to your Advanced Blog:

Start by logging into the Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
Click the Design tab.
Click the Advanced Blog icon.
Click the Settings tab.
Then, on bottom of page click the Manage Users button. You’ll be redirected to the “Serendipity Administration Suite”.
Press on Create new user. Note: Here you can also edit user’s properties or delete users.
Now, you can assign new usernames, passwords, emails, etc. And most importantly you can assign different permission levels.

Important: The account created during the Advanced Blog installation is the Admin user with permission level 255. With this userlevel you can change everything. On the next step is the Chief Editor with userlevel 1. The Chief Editor can create other users, maintain all entries in the blog and also perform some administrative tasks (title of blog, plugins, and private categories). Last is the Standard Editor with permissionlevel 0. The Standard Editor can manage his own entries and apply some personal administrative changes.

After specifying all the details, click Create new user to complete the process.
