All Users:
A list of all users who have access to the site. Each user’s username, email, and role are displayed. Here you can change a user’s role or delete a user.
Add New User:
Here a user can choose to grant site access to an existing user (a user who has access to another site already) or a brand new user. Please note users who exist on the main site network (wcsu.edu) might not exist on the personal site network (sites.wcsu.edu).
If they are a brand new user and a confirmation email IS sent, they will not appear on the All Users list until they have interacted with the confirmation email.
