Managing Users

Users are the people who can log in to the Contensio admin panel. Each user has a role that defines what they can see and do.

#The users list

Go to Users in the admin sidebar. The list shows all registered users with their name, email, role, and last-login date.

#Inviting a user

Click Add User and fill in:

• Name — displayed throughout the admin and on author profiles.
• Email — used for login. Must be unique.
• Password — set an initial password. The user can change it in their profile.
• Role — the role controls what the user can access. See Roles & Permissions.
• Active — uncheck to create the account in a disabled state. The user cannot log in until activated.

#Editing a user

Click any user row to open the edit form. You can change their name, email, role, and active status. To reset a password, enter a new one in the password field; leave it blank to keep the existing password.

#Deactivating vs deleting

• Deactivate (uncheck Active) — the account stays in the database, content they created is preserved, but they can no longer log in. Reversible.
• Delete — permanently removes the account. Content they authored is re-assigned to no author (shown as "—" in lists). Irreversible.

The current logged-in user cannot delete their own account from the Users list; use Profile → Delete Account for self-deletion.

#Your own profile

Go to Profile (top-right avatar menu or the Profile link in the sidebar) to change your own name, email, password, avatar, and bio. These changes do not require admin permission — any logged-in user can edit their own profile.
