how to add users?
Go to administer, User Management, Add and fill in the form.
username: use the normal name with capitals and spaces.
password: use an initial password like "welc0me", and advise the users to change it into their own password. If they lose their password, they can contact you and you will have to create a new initial password and send that to the user.
Status: should be active, unless you don't want that user to use the content.
