User Manager Main Menu
The User Manager option in the admin main menu enables the creation of users and administration of user rights to the TurnKey Administration System. TurnKey comes with 4 default groups already in place- Editors, Administrators, Members and Visitors. All Users belong to the Members group. All users visiting the website front end that are not logged in are considered 'Visitors'.
Clicking the User Manager link in the admin menu will display the following screen:
Adding New Users
- To set up a new User, click on 'Add a member'.
- Complete all the fields for the new user.
- Assign the user to a User Group (or groups) - this will determine their basic access permissions.
- Click 'Continue' to finish.
Editing Existing Users
- In the main User Manager Administration window, click on the 'Edit' button to the right of the user you want to edit.
- Login, Firstname, Lastname & Email fields are all updateable.
- You can reset a user password by filling in both the 'Password' & 'Password Confirmation' fields. Note that passwords must be exactly the same in the two fields, and that case-sensitivity applies (small and capital letters).
- You can alter group membership(s) by un-checking and re-checking the options under 'Groups'.
- Click 'Continue' to save the changes.
Deleting Users
- To the right of the user you want to remove, click on the 'Delete' button.
- You can delete several users in one operation if you check the boxes to the left of the user login names before you click on the delete button.
Managing User Groups

Manage existing user groups

- Members currently assigned to the group will be checked.
- Check or uncheck individual users to add/remove them from the group.
- Click 'Continue' to finish.
User Group Rights
Rights (Permissions) throughout TurnKey admin are 'User Group’ centric. You can set default rights for each Group - these will be applied throughout admin wherever permissions are used. You can further override permissions at an item level - removing Add and Delete from a specific item on the site for specific Groups - e.g. locking everyone but Administrators out of the Home page. Editors will be able to see the Item in the admin main menu but won’t be able to access it.
Permissions Settings for Editors Group:
- Check/uncheck boxes to set permissions for groups.
- Add: able to create new items.
- Delete: able to delete items.
- Edit: able to 'approve' i.e. publish items.
- Manage: able to set permissions for other users.
- View: able to access previews - NOTE: leave this unchecked for all groups.
Page Permissions
Setting permissions for an individual page:
- Click on the 'Key' icon to set overriding permissions specifically for this page.
- The following screen will load:
- Permissions set on this page will override defined group settings.
- Check/un-check the check boxes as required.
