Add a User

Create a new user account.

User Id
This is the unique ID that will be used when logging in to ShopSite's back office.
User name
This is the name that will appear in the top right of each screen in the back office, next to the log out link.
E-mail
The e-mail address that will be used when resetting passwords for this user.
Password
Provide a password for the user account. To meet PCI compliance, follow the minimum requirements provided in the Password Security Guidelines.
Roles
Select which roles the user is allowed to perform. The roles are additive, meaning the user can perform any task that any of the roles provide. Note that the Administrator role is allowed full access to the ShopSite back office and doesn't require any other roles to be assigned.

The User Roles specify which features in the back office can be accessed by the user. Here is a table that shows what each role can access:
