People is a module where all portal members as well as groups they belong to are displayed.

There can be two types of members on your portal:

• Users - they are portal members who take an active part in portal life and can create their own content.
• Guests - they are external users with view-only permissions.

Every member has one of the following statuses:

• Active - such portal members are visible in the main list, have already confirmed their registration email address, receive email notifications and can collaborate with other portal members.
• Pending - such people were added to the portal or changed their registration email address on their profile page, but haven't confirmed it yet. They can log in to the portal and collaborate with other members, but won't receive any email notifications.
  If you are using the cloud version, users with the Pending status are included into the overall active users number on your portal Pricing page.
• Disabled - such portal members were transferred to the list of disabled members that can be viewed by selecting the appropriate filter option. They can't log in to the portal any more.

Every active portal member can edit his own profile. To do that,

1. click the link with your name in the right upper corner
2. select the Profile option
3. press the Edit Image button at the bottom of the current profile photo to select another one that will be used as avatar
4. click the " /> icon above your photo and select one of the following options depending on your goal:
   • Edit - to change personal information displayed on your profile page: first or last name, registration date, title, location, sex, date of birth, contact details, avatar photo
   • Change password - to change your password you use to log in to the portal (you can do that also by clicking the " /> icon next to the current password on your profile page)
   • Change email - to change your registration email address (you can do that also by clicking the " /> icon next to the current email on your profile page)
   • Edit avatars - to select the image area that will be displayed as your avatar photo
   • Delete my profile - to receive instructions per email on how to do that

You'll be redirected to another page, where you will be able to specify a different phone number and press the Enter number button to save it. You'll receive an SMS with a verification code to your new mobile phone.

As a portal owner or full access administrator, you can add new members to the portal.

If you've created your portal recently and have not yet added users, the " /> Invite users to portal button is available on the left side panel in each portal module. It allows you to quickly and easily invite new members to your portal so that they could join it:

1. click the " /> Invite users to portal button

   The invitation link will be copied to the clipboard right away and the Invitation Link window will open allowing you to adjust additional link settings:

   • check the Add users as guests box to invite people who will have view-only permissions on your portal (if you want these people to create portal content, leave this box unchecked). After you change this parameter do not forget to copy the renewed link using the Copy link option.
   • you can also Get the shortened link which is more suitable for adding to your message

There are three main access levels within portal: Guest with view-only permissions, user with basic privileges and administrator with advanced privileges.

Among administrators there are:

• module administrators managing one particular module or several of them

Actually, the portal owner is the person who created the portal. If he wants to appoint another portal member to this position, he needs to:

2. expand the Security section on the left-side panel and select the Access Rights subsection
3. select a person from the dropdown list under his photo
4. click the Change Portal Owner button
5. check the mail box and follow the confirmation link sent in the email message

The portal owner has the same permissions as full access administrators and can perform the following operations:

After a portal member is added to the portal, he gets user or guest access rights. Full access administrators can grant administrator privileges to users only. To do that, they need to proceed through the following steps:

2. select the Access Rights option on the left-side panel
3. click the Show link next to the Administrators caption
4. click the Choose user link under the list of administrators
5. select a person or several persons at once from the existing users/guests or create a new administrator right here by clicking the Create new profile link
6. click the Save button
7. the selected person(s) will get the maximum access to all portal modules by default; to limit it, uncheck the Full Access box first and then the boxes corresponding to the modules you don't want to grant administrator access to

The main permissions are listed in the table below.

Portal tools - Mail, Talk, Calendar, Feed - are available to all portal users. The guests can use every tool with the exception of Mail.

1. click the Settings link on the left-side panel,
2. select the Portal Access Rights subsection,
3. go to the People section,
4. check the Users from list radio button,
