For the restricted user role, scroll up to the Comment section and ensure that the following permissions
are checked:
• View comments
• Skip comment approval
• Edit own comments
Once you have checked the boxes for the required permissions, scroll to the bottom of the page and
click the “Save permissions” button. At this point, you have created roles and assigned permissions to those
roles. You are now ready to create user accounts.
Creating User Accounts
You now have user roles defined, appropriate permissions set, and are ready to create user accounts. The
process for creating a new user account is accomplished by first clicking the Manage link in the menu at
the top of the page, followed by clicking the People link in the submenu. Clicking this link reveals the page
shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5. Creating user accounts
This screen lists all existing user accounts. At this point, the only account that is listed is the admin
account, which was created when we performed the installation process. To add a new user, click the “Add
user” button at the top of this page, which reveals the “Add user” form (see Figure 3-6).
