00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.620
In this video, I'll give you a tour of how to add and create users in your platform.

2
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:11.780
So what you're going to do is head over to the dashboard and click on the user tab.

3
00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:16.780
That'll be the user tab here on the left, looks like that.

4
00:00:16.780 --> 00:00:19.740
And on this page, we have a couple things going on here.

5
00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:25.340
So you can immediately see some stats at the top, how many free users, basic, premium,

6
00:00:25.340 --> 00:00:27.280
and then how many admin users you have.

7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.600
So let me take a second here and explain the different types of users.

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:37.840
Free users here is something that we use just for someone who signs up to your site, so

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.240
anyone can sign up and they just become a free user by default.

10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.520
Then we have two separate types of users called basic and premium.

11
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.680
You can try to use these however you want in your specific community.

12
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:57.360
But these are related to two different tiers.

13
00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:01.720
Maybe you're at $10 a month on the basic plan, and maybe you're at $20 a month on the

14
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:02.720
premium.

15
00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:04.739
These can be whatever you want them to be.

16
00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:09.560
You do not have to use both of them, but it is a way to distinguish people who have given

17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.160
you money in basic versus someone who's just free.

18
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.740
They haven't spent anything to be on your platform.

19
00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:20.000
And of course, admin users is your type of account, but it just helps you keep an eye

20
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.200
on who all the admin users are.

21
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:31.240
All right, so here we have a list of all the users listed out below.

22
00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:33.920
And we can see their name.

23
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.280
We can see the sign-up date, so we can see when they actually joined the platform.

24
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:39.840
We can see their role.

25
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.280
There's currently a free user, and their email address, and then we can have some actions

26
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.280
here.

27
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:50.880
I can click this edit button, the little pencil, and I'll edit Carolina, and she's

28
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.600
on our team.

29
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:56.800
And we can see an entire profile of this user.

30
00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:00.280
So I can see the name here, I can see her email address.

31
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:08.639
I can even trigger a reset password, and then I can add additional info here, city, state.

32
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:15.980
And then description, this is public that people would see for her profile.

33
00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:18.460
And then there's groups, I can see what groups she's a part of.

34
00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:22.460
I can add her or remove her from groups if I need to.

35
00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:28.980
And I can add tags if you want, so we'll get into some of this in a minute.

36
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:33.100
And then you can add additional information, and this is something that the users will

37
00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:39.540
never see, but just something for you to note about that person.

38
00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:46.940
And finally, we can see the role, what type of access does this person have, and there's

39
00:02:46.940 --> 00:02:50.980
even a place to upload a cover photo, which is on their profile.

40
00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:54.020
So that's just a quick overview of this popup.

41
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:58.320
Now to create a brand new user, you're going to click over here to the right and click

42
00:02:58.320 --> 00:02:59.860
add user.

43
00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:06.500
And what you'll get is essentially a blank version of this form.

44
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:09.360
You can fill out as much information as you need.

45
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:14.640
You can set their name, set their email address, you can go ahead and set their password.

46
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:19.920
If you do leave this blank, then you should just, then it will create, it'll have the

47
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:22.040
user create a password when they sign in.

48
00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:27.600
So by default, users go into kind of like a pre-registered state.

49
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:31.800
And once they put their email address for the first time, we'll actually recognize and

50
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.920
say, hey, let's go ahead and set a password now.

51
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:37.260
So if you don't want to specify a password, just leave it blank.

52
00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:41.100
And that will work great for you users to set their own password when they sign in.

53
00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:46.740
All right, so that's how you would add a user there.

54
00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:49.420
And that's pretty much it.

55
00:03:49.420 --> 00:03:50.860
I think that's all I'll show.

56
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:55.500
There are some advanced ways to add users through Zapier and other tools.

57
00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:57.260
So we'll get into that in other videos.

58
00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:03.500
But if you wanted to just come in here, add, you know, another user, if you wanted to add

59
00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:05.540
another admin, this is how you would do that.

60
00:04:05.820 --> 00:04:08.900
You would do everything from the users tab here.

61
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:12.380
Like I said, if you wanted to add an admin user, you would fill this all out for someone

62
00:04:12.380 --> 00:04:16.940
on your team, and then you could change the role to admin right down here.

63
00:04:16.940 --> 00:04:20.700
So very easy to kind of manage this all in one place.

64
00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:25.300
You can also, once you get to having a lot of different users, at the top here, you can

65
00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:27.460
just simply search.

66
00:04:27.460 --> 00:04:32.380
And this search is by email, so it'll search the email address.

67
00:04:32.380 --> 00:04:37.580
And in future versions, we probably will have a way to search name or other fields.

68
00:04:37.580 --> 00:04:42.380
But right now, we just search the email address, and you can quickly, as you type, it will

69
00:04:42.380 --> 00:04:43.380
actually filter.

70
00:04:43.380 --> 00:04:48.420
See, as I start typing, it'll filter down the results for you instantly.

71
00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.360
So it's normally pretty fast to find a user.

72
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.660
You can then hit edit and edit that person's info.

73
00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.980
So the other thing I'll just show you as well is there are some...

74
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.520
bulk actions let's say I wanted to take you know these three or four users I can click on this

75
00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:11.680
actions button here and I can set all of those accounts to free basic or premium or I can even

76
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:18.240
delete those all in one go so that is helpful if you are batching a few people and you want

77
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.400
to upgrade them or downgrade them that's an easy way to do that all right that is everything for

78
00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:30.320
the user tab we'll get into some other advanced things you can do with the user tabs in the next

79
00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:30.960
