Invite a person to create a user account
To log in to your website a person requires a user account which consists of an email address and password. You can invite people to create a user account either individually or in bulk via an email broadcast.
Roles explained
Every user account has a role, which determines what they can do on your website. The User role is the default role given to all user accounts.
| Role | Description |
| User | Can view and edit their own contact details and communication preferences. With an active membership subscription, a User can also access member content, create forum posts and add comments. |
| Editor | Has all the permissions of a User. Can also create and edit all website content and structure. |
| Administrator | Has all the permissions of an Editor. Can also manage the contact database, events, forms, broadcasts, reports and settings. |
People can only create an account using an email address that
already exists in your contact database.
