Check In all articles (1.0)

To check in (also, unlock) all the articles on your site in Joomla 1.0 so editors can update or edit any article:

1. Log in as Super Administrator
2. Main menu: Select System > Global Checkin

This command displays a list of results by section.

Create New User Account (Joomla 1.0, 1.5)

To create a new user account in Joomla, version 1.0 & 1.5:

Open the User: Add form

1. Log into the Joomla administrative back end (yourdomain.com/administrator/) as an Administrator or Super Administrator.
2. From the control panel, click User Manager (or select Site > User Manager from the administrative menu bar).
3. Click New on the toolbar to open the User: Add form (User:[New] in version 1.5).

Fill in the New User form

1. Name: Type the user’s full name.
2. Username: enter a single (no spaces) unique username.
3. E-mail: enter a valid email address.
4. New/Verify Password: enter a secure password & retype it.
5. Group: Select the group with the lowest privileges possible for that user.
6. User Editor: Select the preferred editor.
7. Click [Save] when you are done, or [Close/Cancel] to cancel — you’ll return to the User Manager.

Add more users if required, or log out if you are done. Joomla sends new users their log-in and password information in an e-mail … but be sure to follow up with them, since this mail is sometimes spam filtered.

Note: only Administrators and Super Administrators have the ability to change passwords in the administrative backend.
