-======= Accounts and User Management ======= +This page no longer existsgo here [[:account_permissions|Permissions and User Management Usage Guide]].
- +
-===== Overview ===== +
- +
-The Real Geeks platform uses a single sign-on system that allows you to have just one account that can be used to login to every single Real Geeks service! +
- +
-We have also included a "​permissions"​ system that will allow site owners to modify the permissions of people that they would like to work on the backend of their site.  You can also grant specific privileges to certain parts of the administration ​page to specific people. +
- +
-===== What does "​single sign-on"​ actually mean? ===== +
- +
-It would mean that if you logged into http://​accounts.realgeeks.com/​ you could then just type in the address to your website administration page (http://​www.yourwebsite.com/​admin) and you would be automatically logged inand vice-versa. +
- +
-===== How do permissions work? ===== +
- +
-You can login to http://​accounts.realgeeks.com/,​ select your site from the list provided and then review permissions for users you've chosen to include on your site.  If your user doesn'​t exist, you can simply create a new account for them.  An email will be sent out with their login/​credentials to the email you've included. +
- +
-The same user may be added to multiple sites, just by typing in the same email address multiple times. ​ They can have different permissions for every site you own. +
- +
-===== What are the permissions someone can modify? ===== +
- +
-Right now there are four website backend permissions that may be modified; however, in the future this will grow to include permissions for both the Real Geeks Accounts system and the Real Geeks Lead Manager. +
- +
-The four permissions you may set are: +
-  - **Website** +
-    - Blog - The user may modify, add, or delete blog content on the page. +
-    - Content - The user may modify, add, or delete website content. +
-    - Site Settings - The user may modify site settings (phone number, logo, header image, etc.). +
-    - Craigslist - The user may submit Craigslist listings on your behalf. +
- +
- +
-===== I'm still lost, what should I do? ===== +
- +
-Consult the [[:permissions_and_user_management|Permissions and User Management Usage Guide]]+
- +
-Then, if it still is unclear to you how to get started, feel free to contact us via our new [[http://​support.realgeeks.com/​|Real Geeks Support Form]] (http://​support.realgeeks.com/​).+
