Figure 1: Control Panel menu – Users section

User configuration and management tasks are carried out using the Users section of the Control Panel. If this option is not visible in the menu when you open the Control Panel you have not been given permissions related to users in the system and you would need to request any changes to the users are made by somebody who has been assigned that permission.

From the main page of the Users section you can view, edit or add users. Depending on your permissions you may not see all of these options.
