5 <p>The Users section allows managment of students, instructors, and administrators. Note that administrators are not
6 considered regular users of the system; an administrator account can not normally be used to login to a course. They can however login temporarily as the course instructor, using the View button in the administrator's Courses listing. For the
7 purposes of documentation the term "users" will be reserved for any account type that is <em>not</em> an administrator.</p>
9 <p>There are four types of user accounts that can exist in an ATutor installation, as defined by their Status:
12 <dd>Only administrators may disable an account. Disabled accounts cannot login to the ATutor installation, and will not appear in a course's Enrollment Manager.</dd>
14 <dd>Unconfirmed accounts are created only when the <a href="system_preferences.php">System Preferences</a> <em>Require Email Confirmation Upon Registration</em> option is enabled.</dd>
16 <dd>A regular account which can enroll, but not create courses.</dd>
19 <dd>A regular account which can enroll as well as create courses.</dd>
23 <h3>Creating User Accounts</h3>
25 <p>Administrators can manually add users to the system by using <em>Create User Account</em>. Manually created accounts are automatically confirmed and the account status is set to Student, Instructor, or disabled as choosen in the Account Status field of the user account creation form. </p>
26 <p>User accounts can also be created by individuals using the Registration form available through the public pages of ATutor. Instructors can also generate user accounts by importing a course list in the Enrollment Manager.</p>
