This article will show you how to create a user. You can add a user to a front-end group or a back-end group, depending on what the user will have permission for.
Add a User
Important Note:
If the user already has a CivicPlus Single Sign-On account, you will not have to create an additional username and password for their Municipal Websites Central account. Available user fields will only include First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Photograph.

A Verification Email will be sent to the user's email address
Note:
If a verification email does not arrive, please check your email's spam filter and ensure your email provider is not blocking emails from [email protected]. Click the forgot password link on the sign-in screen to send a new verification email. If you continue to have issues, contact CivicPlus Support. View the Expired Verification Email article for more information.
Modify User Accounts
Users can modify their account information using the following instructions:
Delete a User
Important Notes:
Unpublishing a user is not an option. The user is immediately removed from your site when deleted.
If a user is removed from a CivicPlus Organizations site and then added again at a later date, their information will auto-populate once the email address is entered. That user's permissions will need to be reassigned.
Who can use this feature?
