Manage user accounts¶

How to create a new user account¶

You need to be site manager to have the permission to see and manage the list of user accounts on your Lino site.
Select Configure ‣ System ‣ Users in the main menu
Click the button in the toolbar or hit the Insert key.
Lino opens the following insert window:

New User

Username: ____ e-mail address: ____

First name: ____ Last name: _____

Language: _____ User type: _____
Fill out the fields of the insert window and hit the Create button to submit the window.

Click on the My settings quick link in the main page, or select My settings from the user menu.

Lino will show the My settings window of your user account.
Click on the * button in the toolbar.
Lino opens the following dialog window:

Change password

Current password: ____

New password: ____

New password again: ____
Enter your current password, then (twice) your new password.
Hit ENTER or click the OK button.

Notes:

Changing your password does not cause your session to sign out. You will need your new password only when Lino asks you to sign in again. Depending on the site’s configuration that might happen only when you signed out explicitly.
A site manager can invoke that action on any user, and they can leave the Current password field empty.
