Administration
Page creation & editing, sermon manager, calendar & file cabinet can all be managed through the front of the website. For everything else you will need to come here to the backend control panel.
Go to www.yourdomainname.com/administrator (where your domainname.com is your actual domain name, ie. www.kingdomchurch.com/administrator) and login with the username and password you created for yourself on the website when you registered.
From there you will see a control panel screen. This is called the BACKEND Control Panel.
From there you will see a control panel screen. This is called the BACKEND Control Panel.
Click on the 'User Manager' icon thats right on the frontpage when you login.
You will see a list of all people that have registered for an account on your church website.
Notice you are the administrator (look under the group column). You cannot change this, although you can assign other users to be administrators also.
Only give administrator privileges to those who will run the website. You do NOT need to be an administrator to edit and submit normal content on the frontend.
Now this is the place where you will assign your staff their editing privileges.
There are 4 different groups a super administrator can assign to people, 3 of which can edit content on the site from the FRONTEND:
Registered - This group allows the user to login to the Frontend interface. Registered users can't contribute content, but this may allow them access to other areas, like a forum or download section if your site has one.
Author - This group allows a user to post newsflashes, update sermons, and edit pages that they are assigned to be the author of. When content is submitted by an Author level user, they receive the message, “Thanks for your submission. Your submission will now be reviewed before being posted to the site.”
Editor - This group allows a user to post and edit any (not just their own) content item from the Frontend as well as update sermons. They can also edit content that has not been published or that they are not the author of. Still, Editor users cannot, publish or change the publishing status of any articles, even their own.
Publisher - This group allows a user to post, edit and publish any (not just their own) content item from the Front-end. Publishers can review all articles, edit and change publishing options but the can also determine when an article is ready for publication, making it visible to Registered, Author and the Unregistered Public (depending on what visibility was chosen in the article, of course!)

Managers have access to all the content associated controls in the administrator panel. They have the same rights a publisher except they can access the backend control panel. They have NO authority to add users or alter existing user profiles
Administrators have a broader range of access than Managers do.
What they cannot do is edit the profiles of a Super Administrator or change certain global characteristics of the web site. Administrators do not show up in the User Manager screen when users are logged in as an Administrator.
Adding a User and Assigning Them to a User Group
Have the user signup themselves by going to the bottom of the church website where the login is or to the page the login has been created for you and click 'Create Account'
Once they have created an account, you as the administrator can now assign them to a user group by logging into the backend control panel located at www.yourdomainname.com/administrator/ (where yourdomainname.com is YOUR church domain name)
To assign a staff membr to a certain user group, such as a publisher, where they can edit the site, you must go through the backend control panel. Login and click on the 'User Manager' icon thats right on the frontpage when you login. You will see a list of all people that have registered for an account on your church website.
Click the name of the staff member you want to assign to a different user group.
Click the name of the staff member you want to assign to a different user group.

located at top right of the screen.Now that we have setup your staff and their privileges, we can do MOST of the maintaining of the website from the frontend control panel.
