Creating new users

Version 8.1 by Silvia Macovei on 2018/09/25

Information

This page describes how you can create new users from within XWiki. If you're looking for LDAP integration, please give a look to this page instead.

Create a new user in your wiki

Now that your wiki has a brand new logo, updated colors and great panels, it's time to add a couple of users:

  • Go to Administration > Users & Rights > Users
  • Click “Create user”
  • Fill in the fields and click "Save"

Your new user has been created!
You can remove the user by clicking on the red "X" located next to the "Last name" in the "Manage" column - should you wish to do so.

Manage user groups in your wiki

Now that you have created a couple of users, you can affect them to groups to manage them more easily:

  • Click on the "Wiki" menu located in the top left side of your page, click "Administer Wiki"
  • Click on the "Groups" button
  • At the bottom of the page, click on "Add new group"
  • Fill the field and click on "Create group"
  • Now that you group exists, you will want to add users to the group
    • Click on the small pencil located to the right of your group's name in the "Manage" column
    • In the "Add new user" field, start typing the name of an user
    • Select the user of your choice from the drop-down suggestion list that starts appearing below the input field
    • Click on "Add"
    • Once you're done adding users to this group, click on the "X" button located top right
    • Your users are now group members!
