The user management system enables you to create multiple admin users to manage your store. This is useful if you have different staff and want to assign different privileges to each.

This administrative user is created during install by the person/developer settings up the system. This is a admin username/password that always has access to the system. The admin login credentials are set in the following file: admin/control/access.inc.php Ideally this is used only to set up the system or to access the system if a store owner has forgot their password. Once you have created users via the user management screen, you can do one of the following:

1. Comment out the 2 constants in the 'admin/control/access.inc.php' file.
2. Remove the 'admin/control/access.inc.php'.

To regain access via this admin user, replace the deleted file or uncomment out the constants, depending on your preference.

In the admin area, this sets a username and password for a new admin user.

Administrators have FULL access to the admin area, Restricted Users ONLY to allowed pages as set via the 'Restricted User Access Pages' option. Check boxes to allow. At least 1 must be specified for restricted users. For administrators, the checkboxes have no affect.

Note that the login homepage screen differs for restricted users and the main navigational menu is not shown.
