If you click the 'Add a new user link' toward the bottom of the Manage Users page, then you will be taken to the Add User page. Here you can enter the details of the new user, define their password, specify whether or not they are an admin user, and select what user group(s) they belong to.

When adding new admin users, you can also decide whether they will receive system alerts, for example when a user requests approval, or sends a message from the Contact Us page. Simply tick the box labelled ‘Receives alerts'.

Importing users in bulk

You can also add users to the system in bulk by clicking the 'Import users' link on the Manage Users page. This takes you to the User Import page, which asks for a tab delimited file containing the details of the users with a heading row that identifies the values in each column.
