Creating and editing Users and Assigning User Roles

The users page is where you create users, delete them, and edit user roles. For a detailed description of what the roles mean, see the official Castopod documentation.

Creating a new user

  1. Log in as a Super Admin.

  2. Click on the + next to the Users menu item on the left.

  3. Enter the username, email address, and role of the new user. Be sure to enter correct values since once a user is created, other than deleting them, the only thing you can do is change their role.

  4. The new user will receive an email that contains a magic link for them to click on.

  5. When the user clicks on the link, they will be asked to set a password
