Anonymous User8464 28-Feb-2012

User Manager provides the ability to look at a list of your users and sort them in different ways. You can also edit and create users, user groups and access levels. Users play a very special role on Joomla websites. At the moment, you are the only user (admin or simple) that the Joomla administration knows. If you allow user registration on your site, there will be a registration form with help of which user can register in Joomla website.

 In the User Manager, you can change, delete, block, and assign different rights to users. In the overview list you can see the user details such as name, address, email id, contact number etc.

To access the User Manager, first of all login in Joomla Administrator panel and go to Users-> User Manager.
