Creating a new account does not mean sharing all your privileges as a Site Manager. You can set restrictions or limitations on what areas the other Site Manager can access.

To add a Site Manager account, do the following:

1. In the left navigation panel, click on Accounts > Site Manager Accounts. After doing this, a page will appear like the one shown below:

   

2. Click on the Add sub-menu on the top of this page.
3. In the Site Manager Account Information area (image shown below), do the following:

   

   1. In the Username box, type the Login ID that you want to assign to the other Site Manager.
   2. In the Password box, type the password you want. Password strength tells you if the password you input is weak or strong.
   3. Retype your new password.

In eDirectory version 7.4.00, a username real time validation is added in the Username field of this form (image shown here). The application validates username availability once the Site Manager types the username for the Site Manager account that he/she is creating. It also issues warnings regarding the character type and length validity of the provided username in real time.

4. In the Site Manager Account Contact Information area (image shown below), do the following:

   

   1. In the Name, Phone, and E-mail boxes, type the contact information being asked.
   2. If you want the account to be accessed only in specific IP addresses, type the IP in the IP Restriction textarea.

      Internet Protocol (IP) Address is a unique numeric address assigned to every device connected to the public Internet. There are many online tools to help you quickly and easily determine your computer’s current IP address. One popular site to determine an IP address is http://whatismyipaddress.com

5. In the Site Manager Permission area (image shown below), check the modules and sections that you want to be available in the account.

   

6. Click on the Submit button.
