Change settings

You can change the following settings:

	Add user	Add new users. You need to fill in the following information: User name, new password, retype password, e-mail, real name (this name will be shown in the articles)
	Edit user data	Change user name, e-mail or real name. In case you have forgotten your password, a new password can be allocated to you. Create a new password and confirm it. Change the groups a user belongs to. Mark the groups and click "ok". To define rights for groups have a look at the group manager or permission manager. Attention: All users always belong to the groups "*" and "user".
	Delete user	After a confirmation the account will be deleted.

Note: It is not allowed to use your user name as password. The system will show the error "wrong password". This is very important especially if you have an LDAP connection. MediaWiki will create a user but the user can't registrate with this password.

Edit Groups
