Adding Members

Objective

Add a member to the Customers & Members component with login details.

Prerequisites

Before you can add a member with log in permissions you must first add Member Groups. To setup a Member Groups, go through the Adding your first Member Group article first. Otherwise, you can still proceed but you will need to skip steps 2.2-2.4 and the member will not be able to log in.

Steps

1. To add a new member click the "Add Member" button.
    
2. There are five main fields you must complete in order to create a member with log in access:
   1. First Name & Email: Enter the member's first name and email address in these two fields.
   2. Username: Enter the desired username for the member here. To ensure uniqueness, we recommended entering the member's email address.
   3. Password: Enter a password for the member.
   4. Member Permissions Centre: Select which member groups the member should be assigned to. This controls what content the member will see on the website after they have logged in. If you haven't added a member group yet, take a look at Adding your first Member Group then come back here.
3. Scroll to the bottom and click the Save button and that's it, you have successfully added a new member to your website.
