Adding & Editing Users

Introduction
You can control user access under People in the Admin menu. The People page allows you to list all users of your site and perform actions (upgrade, delete, edit) on them.

When a new user creates an account, the site maintainer will receive an email and will have to unblock them and add a user role before they can use the site.

There are four user roles:
 * Authenticated (unblocked) user: Able to access non-public content, create and edit own forum posts
 * Contributor: Able to create content and edit own content
 * Editor: Able to create and edit own content, and also edit other people's content
 * Maintainer: Like editor, but also has administration privileges
