The User input screen explained

You can't have a knowledgebase without users. In KBPublisher we have readers, authors, editors, moderators and administrators. Or you can set up your own user types. 

1. First Name, Last Name and Middle Name make up the user's name. First and last name are compulsory, middle name is not.
   
   
2. Email is the user's email address. This is the email to which all KBPublisher communications will be sent. Email is also compulsory. Emails are also unique, so you cannot have more than one user in the knowledgebase with the same email address.
   
   
3. Telephone is the user's contact telephone number.
   
   
4. Company is the company the user works for. If you intend to associate a company with the user, then this company must have first been set up in KBPublisher.
   
   
5. Roles allow you to group users, and to further control what content a user can see content in the database.
   
   
6. Privileges control the type of access the user has to KBPublisher.

Users may also be set up with no defined privilege. These are the public users.

7. The Username is the name the user uses to log on. If you click set as email here, the username will be the name you typed into the email field. You must provide a username.
   
   
8. The Password is the password the user will use to log on. Because this is a password, the text you type is replaced by dots.
   
   
9. Because there is no way of seeing what you typed into the Password field, you need to retype the password into the Password (confirm) field.
   
   
10. User comments are comments the user adds when he or she fills in the form to request user access
    
    
11. Admin comments are private comments that can be added by the administrator when adding or updating the user. The user does not see these comments
    
    
12. A user must be Active to be able to log on to the system. An inactive user cannot log onto the system at all, and user who is pending (approval required) has been set up but is still not able to access the system until a moderator or administrator approves them.
    User statuses could be managed at Settings->Lists->User Status.
    
    
13. If Notify user is checked, the user will receive an email once their access has been set up.
