Overview
This article explains how to create a new user in Juniper Websites.
Before creating a new user, familiarise yourself with the default roles. For more information, see Juniper Websites: What are the different user roles?
Prerequisites
You must be an Administrator to create a new user.
Instructions
Follow these instructions to create a new user:
- Select User Manager from the Home tab
- Select Create New User:
- Enter the new user's details (required fields are marked with an asterisk):
-
Enter a Password for the user:
When entering a password, if the user you are creating is an administrator, the password must be at least 16 characters long (for other roles the password length must be a minimum of 8 characters).
-
As required, uncheck User can change password and Send User Password Reset.
To initially lock the account, check Account is currently Locked.
-
Select Choose Roles. If the password entered is not 8 characters or over in length, an error message will appear prompting you to change the password, otherwise select a role for the user:
We recommend only one role per user. If you have multiple roles assigned to a user, they will inherit the permissions of both roles, but the more restrictive permissions will apply.
- Select Add User. At this point, a further password validation. If the user is an administrator, the password will be checked to ensure it is a minimum of 16 characters in length. If it is not, an error is displayed prompting you to fix it.
- When prompted, select either Close User Manager or Return to User Manager:
Outcome
A new user will be created. Where a password reset email was selected, an email will be sent to the new user to reset their password.
After creating a new user account, refer the user to Juniper Websites: How do I log on to my CMS?
