Website Users and Groups

Managing website users and groups is crucial for the functionality of your website. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to manage users, update balances, assign groups, and create new groups within your website.

Website Users​

DEFAULT AVATAR AND COVER IMAGE

You can customize the default avatar and cover image for your users in the Website Basic Settings. This allows you to ensure your website has a unique and personalized appearance that reflects your vision.

How to Manage Users​

To manage your website users:

  1. Navigate to the GameCMS Dashboard.
  2. Go to the Users section.

Here, you can see all your users along with their paid and virtual balances. To manage a specific user:

  1. Click on their username.
  2. You will be redirected to the user edit page, where you can edit the following:
    • Username
    • Balance
    • Confirmed Profiles
    • Groups
    • Last Product Purchases
    • Affiliate Settings (This option is available only if the Website Affiliate Setting is enabled).
At least one group

It's recommended that registered users belong to at least one group, such as the "Members" group, which is created by default.

How to Update a User's Balance​

  1. Click on the user's username to go to their profile.
  2. From the user menu, select Balance.
  3. You can add, remove, or set the user's virtual balance.
  4. You can also view the user's latest deposits.
Important

You cannot edit a user's paid balance. Only the virtual balance can be modified.

How to Assign a User Group​

  1. Click on the user's username to go to their profile.
  2. From the user menu, select Groups.
  3. From here, you can add or remove any groups assigned to the user.

How to Add a User to a Team​

  1. Click on the user's username to go to their profile.
  2. Navigate to the Team Page in the dashboard.
  3. Add the user to your team from there.
Add Group

If you assign a group to a user and the group is marked as a Team group, the user will automatically be added to the team. Conversely, removing the group will remove the user from the team.

Website Groups​

How to Create a New Group​

  1. Navigate to the GameCMS Dashboard.
  2. Go to the Groups section.
  3. Click the "New Group" button.

Group Options​

When creating or managing a group, you can configure the following options:

  1. Name:
    The name of the group (e.g., Admin).

  2. Use Group:
    Customize the username color for users in this group. This option is supported only by custom templates.

  3. Group Color:
    The color associated with the group. By default, this is used only for the Forum Module, but developers can use it as needed.

  4. Default Group:
    Set this option to "Yes" to make this the default group for all new members.

  5. Guest Group:
    Set this option to "Yes" to use this group for guests (website visitors who are not logged in).

  6. Activated:
    Enable this to activate the group. If disabled, the platform won’t use the group.

  7. Access the Control Panel:
    Enable this if you want to use the group as a Team Group. Selecting "Yes" will unlock various options to customize access and permissions for team members within this group. You can specify the pages and actions that team members can access, providing a tailored and secure experience. Explore these settings to enhance collaboration and streamline workflows.

note

Every website comes with three pre-created groups by default.
