Create a user for Statamic

This guide helps a user of the Statamic CMS (content management system) to create a user account for someone else.

---

NB: These steps are for where email is not configured for the CMS. This means that User Email Invitations and self-service Password Reset does not work. Email could  be configured but it there are reasons not to (security, complexity, cost)

Create a user

1. Open the Control panel of the site – eg: example.com/cp

2. Visit Users > Create User

3. Fill in Name and Email Address

4. Un-toggle Super Admin

5. (Optional) Add Role (eg: Editor)

6. Un-toggle Send Email invitation > Create User

7. The user has now been created, copy and share the Activation URL with the new user (this might expire so ask them to use it promptly)

8. The user will then create their own password (12+ characters, read more about that)
