Managing users
Sitefinity users are users who can conduct content management and/or administrative tasks within a given website project. Users can be managed only by a user who is granted the
Manage Users permission.
For more information about granting permissions, see
Managing permissions.
When you create and start a project, the user you choose to be project’s administrator is the first user to be created by the system.
For more information see Configuring and starting a project » Step 4.
This user is automatically assigned the Administrators role and is granted full global, content modules and sitemap permissions.
For more information, see Managing roles.
IMPORTANT: Before you create any users, you must set the password requirements and password recovery requirements.
