Adding Users

All SiteBuilder users except the administrators should have FTP accounts because SiteBuilder stores their sites there during the process of publication so they become accessible. SiteBuilder accounts do not have their 'own' logins and passwords (except administrators' ones); they utilize that of FTP accounts instead. Thus prior to adding a new user, you should add his/her FTP server in the list of allowed IPs (refer to the Allowed IPs configuration section).

After that, go to the User Management page and click on the Add user button to start the process of adding a new user. A dialog will open where you will have to provide information about the user such as his/her login, password (that of user's FTP account), personal information, role (either regular user or administrator), FTP account information (FTP Host and FTP Working Directory).

Note that the last two fields are not required for accounts of administrators.

By default, a user is not given permission to publish sites. You should set it manually on User Management page or by editing properties of the affected users. Consult with the two following sections for details.

Add new user dialog

After finishing entering data, press the Add user button to add the new user account or Cancel to interrupt the operation.

There exists another way for users to add themselves into the system. If a user has a valid FTP account on the server which presents in the list of allowed IPs of SiteBuilder but does not have SiteBuilder's account yet, he/she can create one by entering his FTP server and the corresponding login and password at the user login screen of SiteBuilder. Note, that this is possible only if number of already registered users from this FTP server is less than the limiting value in your SiteBuilder license.
