Users
| This feature is only available to site administrators. |
Site administrators can add or delete users for their particular site in SmarterStats. Users without administrator permissions can access site reports and user settings. However, only users with administrator permissions can access the research tools and change site settings. (And add other users, of course.)
To view a list of users for the site, click the Settings icon. Then click Users in the navigation pane. A list of users will load in the content pane.
To create a new user, click New in the content pane toolbar. To edit a user's settings, select the desired user and click Edit in the content pane toolbar. The user settings will load and the following tabs will be available:
