Adding Users to Your OM4 Website
Your OM4 site allows multiple users to access your site with different access levels.
For example, you can add a colleague as an Editor of your site if you wish to give them access to manage the content on your OM4 site. You could also add your business partner as an Administrator to allow them to have full control over your web site while you are out of the office.
The process of adding a user to your web site is slightly different depending on which type of OM4 site you have.
If you have an OM4 Community site, follow these instructions. If you have an OM4 Advanced Hosting Site, follow these instructions.
If you have an OM4 Community Site
To add someone who already has an OM4 username
- Log in to your Dashboard.
- Click the Users tab.
- In the Add User From Community section, enter the user’s email address.
- Select the appropriate role for the user. This will typically be either Editor, Author or Contributor. Be careful if selecting Administrator, as this will give the user full access to your dashboard, including the ability to delete your OM4 web site!
