- Click Save & Close to save the new user.

You can also manually add notes against a user by clicking on the "Add Note" button.

An Admin can edit the Form fields for 'Account Creation' under Membership levels and select an option to add 'Title' to the captured data surrounding Account Creation.
- Click 'Membership Form' under the relevant membership level and then click 'edit'.
- Tick the 'Show Title' box and then this extra information will be captured and displayed when viewing a members details or exporting member details.
Locked User Accounts
If a user forgets their password, or makes too many incorrect attempts at their password (the default is 10 attempts for most sites), they will be locked out of the site, and a lock icon will appear next to their name .
- The only way to unlock a user, is for administration to log in, and unlock them.
- The easiest way to unlock a user is from the Dashboard Widget called "Locked User Accounts". If you do not currently have the widget on your Dashboard, go to Dashboard and click "Add Widget"
- Select Security and click "Add Widget" next to the Locked User Accounts widget
- You can then easily see all locked users on your dashboard and unlock them by clicking the "Lock Icon" under the Unlock Heading
- Alternatively to unlock a user, click on the Security module, and select User Accounts> Accounts from the left side menu.
- Search for the users name, and click on the lock icon next to their name, to be prompted to unlock the user.
It may be a good idea at this stage to reset the users password for them to avoid a re-occurrence.
Security Settings
When your users lock themselves out of their accounts, the system will trigger an email to the Security Administrator. To nominate the email address that the locked user email will be sent to, go to Security, and select Settings.
Add the email address that you wish to have notified in the "To Email Address" field. If you have a preference of a from address, you can also add this.
By default, both email addresses are the current site contact, unless edited by an administrator.
