Admin Panel › Directory › Users

This page lists the registered users of the website: business owners who manage listings from the user panel. Administrators are managed separately, in Admin Users, Groups and Permissions.

Directory users, filtered with the search box.
Figure 21.1 Directory users, filtered with the search box.

Finding a user

Search by username, name or email address with the search box. The list shows the username, name, email address and phone number of each user.

Adding or editing a user

Click New User, or the edit button of a user, and fill in the Username, Password, Name, Email and Phone. When editing, leave the password empty to keep the current one. Click Save User.

To give an existing listing to a user, enter their username in the Username field of the listing editor.

Deleting a user

The delete button removes the user account after a confirmation. Decide first what to do with their listings: reassign them to another user, or delete them.

For security, passwords are stored as one-way hashes. You cannot see a user's password; if a user forgets it, they can request a new one on the website, or you can set a new one here.
