For security purposes, any individual who will need to access your Control Panel should have a unique user identity (username and password).  The Manage Control Panel Users screen allows you to create new users and modify the permission levels of existing users.  The store owner and any user designated as a Super Admin may delegate administrative tasks to other users.

We recommend that all Store Owners create a new Super Admin user for their general use.

To create a new user:

• Go to the Operations Tab and click on Users.  Select Add New User.

• Enter a User Name, Password, and Email address for the new user.  NOTE:  The password must be between 7 and 50 characters in length.
• Click the Create User button.  This will open the User Permissions section of the page.

Once the user has been created, you can specify which sections of the control panel the user can access. You  may assign permissions to some or all areas of the Control Panel. Simply click in a checkbox next to a section of your store that your new user will need to access.

User Permissions

(Return to top)

Each user can be assigned a variety of permissions that give them access to different sections of the Control Panel.  The available user permissions are shown below.

NOTE: Super Admin status will give the user the same rights and priveleges that the account manager has.  This includes

• Access to all sections of the Control Panel
• Access to credit card information
• Ability to create, edit, and delete Users
• Ability to create super admin users

To have access to a specific section, the section checkbox must be selected along with any specific options within the section itself.

When you are finished, click Save Permissions at the bottom of the page.
 

Deleting Permissions/Users

To delete one or more permissions for a user:

1. Ggo to your user list and select the user you wish to change by clicking the Edit button.  This will open the Permissions section.
2. Un-check the box next to the permission(s) to be removed, and the click Save Permissions at the bottom of the page.

To delete a user completely, click the corresponding Delete button for that user in your user list.

Alternative Login

(Return to top)

Once a user has been created, they have the ability to login directly to the Control Panel (as opposed to logging in through the Account Manager).

To login directly to the control panel:

• Enter the URL of your website in the Address bar of your internet browser, adding "/mcp" to the end of the URL.  This will open the login dialog box.  For example, if your store url is "www.mystorerocks.com", you would enter "www.mystorerocks.com/mcp".

• Enter the User Name and password and select an Inactive Timeout duration.  Note:  Users that have access to credit card information cannot set their inactive timeout duration for longer than 15 minutes.
• Click the Login button.  This will take the user directly to the Control Panel.
