BLOX User Accounts are where BLOX Admin and Normal user accounts are managed. User Groups may also be created for restricting access to specific BLOX applications. Settings are also available that relate to user sign up and content user contribution.  

Interface Overview

The BLOX User Accounts interface consists of 3 panels:

Search Terms: This panel contains a number of filters that can be set for locating specific user accounts. 

Search Results: This panel is where accounts can be created, edited, modified, banned/unbanned, or deleted. 

Application Settings: The Application Settings consist of a number of configuration panels for the following user account-related options.

Saved Search: This will allow admins the ability to see and remove any Followed Notifications that user may no longer want. 

BLOX User Account Types

Within BLOX CMS, there are two types of users: Admin users and Normal users. 

An Admin user account has BLOX CMS access and thus, the ability to manage the website.

A Normal user account is a free account that is reserved for site visitors. A visitor isn't required to have a user account, but doing so provides an enhanced web experience and allows the visitor to comment on editorial content, "follow" other users (both admin and normal), purchase subscriptions and complete a number of other transactions and functions. 

During the normal user account sign up process, users will be asked to provide a Screen Name, password and valid email address for account validation. Once the validation link has been validated within the welcome email, users will have the ability to sign into their "User Dashboard" within the site navigation. 

BLOX User Groups

BLOX User Groups can be created for restricting team members to specific BLOX applications and functions. Establishing User Groups can be beneficial in preventing inadvertent site changes, as well as being helpful when used in tandem with Workflows.
