How do I set up additional users?

This article provides guidance on how to add extra users to an account inside the Zmags Publicator.

Note: Users are always able to access all publications uploaded to the account and all associated statistics via the "All Publications" view, even if said publications are uploaded by a different user on that account. If you are looking to separate users into different groups that cannot see one another's work, it is necessary to create separate sub-accounts for them instead. It is not possible to create a user that can view only statistics but not publications.

1) Firstly, log in to Publicator with the normal account details.

2) From here, on the left hand side, click the "Administration" option as shown in the image. After that, select the "Users" option to load an area for managing users associated with the account.

3) At the top of this area is a button to "Create User", clicking this will start the process for adding a new user to the account.

4) At the top of this area is a button to "Create User", clicking this will start the process for adding a new user to the account.
When adding a new user it is possible to specify the name of the user, associated email address and username that new user will use to log in to the Publicator with. It is also possible to set a number of permissions such as whether the new user can delete publications, add new users or publish a publication.

If setting up an account for someone to simply edit a publication, add enrichments or video it may be worth considering whether they need to have the ability to delete or publish a publication.

5) Once all the settings have been selected for the new user and the details for a username / email have been entered click the "Save" button at the bottom. This will load a screen that notifies that the user has been successfully added and provides a URL link to set a new password for that user. This can be copied from the page in the Publicator in to a new browser window in order to set the password.

6) After the password has been set, clicking the "Go back" button will load the main "Users" area of the Publicator once again.
