The User Manager provides tools for creating, viewing, editing, and deleting users for your web site. Users play a major role in managing contents of a web site. You can perform several functions with the User Manager, including these:
- Seeing whether a user is logged in or not
- Blocking a user from logging into your site
- Seeing the last time a particular user visited your site
- Changing the state of a user from Logged In to Logged Out
Different Types of User Groups
The users you create can be assigned to a group, depending on what you want them to be able to do on your web site. A newly created user is assigned a group to designate the user’s access level. The user groups in Joomla are predefined, and you cannot create your own groups. Table 5-1 describes all the available groups.
