Joomla Users

Understanding how to set up Joomla Users is important.

As the administrator of your Joomla website you can create multiple users that can have various levels of access and rights on both the front end, back end or both of your website. Joomla User roles can be defined by group or individual user and can allow them to or deny them access or rights.
