Editing Help:Contents (section)

===Adding Users===
Depending on the access restrictions specified in the 'LocalSettings.php', the site can be designed such that anybody can access and edit any of the pages, or only registered users may log on to the site. Furthermore, the site can be configured such that only the 'sysop' of the site can create new accounts.  These restrictions are set within the LocalSettings file. (See above for details).

:Note: This site has been configured so that only 'sysop' can create new accounts.

*Once logged in, the 'sysop' can select "Create an account or log in" from the "Special Pages" link of the toolbox, along the left margin.  Here, the sysop creates a username and can then automatically email the new user a temporary password for the site. (This email will have the return address of the site administrator, as specified in LocalSettings.php.

*Unfortunately, there is no easy way of deleting a user account. A user can be manually removed from the mySQL database, however this will most likely cause problems with other tables referring to this user or deleted row. This should only be done if you really understand mySQL. 
:*The best way to remove a user, is for the sysop to either block them, or rename their account/ change their password.

*A user can be given 'sysop' and 'bureaucrat' priveleges by an existing sysop, from a link on the sysop's "Special Pages". (The original sysop is created during site initialization).
