Users tab

Authors & Users
The Users tab has a couple of very important functions. The first of which is adding others users within the UMW Blogs community into your own blog space. In other words, you can use the Authors & Users tab to add members of the UMW community as subscribers, contributors, authors, editors, or administrators (see the specific details for each role below) to your own blog simply by adding their e-mail address.





Definitions of user roles
The roles for users are defined as follows:
 * Administrator - Somebody who has access to all the administration features
 * Editor - Somebody who can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people's posts, etc.
 * Author - Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts
 * Contributor - Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts
 * Subscriber - Somebody who can read comments/comment/receive news letters, etc.

Visual Editor
The Your Profile subtab allows you a few important options. First, it is where you set the editing options for your blog. If you want to turn the visual text editor on or off, you would do that here. By default it should be on, though there have been a few instances where this isn't the case.

Primary Blog Switcher
Also, if you have a number of blogs, you can set your default "home blog" here by selecting it in the primary blog drop down menu.

Updating your personal information
In this section of My profile you can add your name and control what readers wilol see, whether your full name, a nickname or just your first name (these otpions will be available only after you have updated this information). You can also change your e-mail address in this space or add relevant information like an IM address, website, etc.



Avatar
Additionally you can upload a personal avatar (or a representative image of some kind that will show up when you make comments on yours or other people's blogs).

Changing your password
Finally, this is also where you can change your password for logging in to UMW Blogs.



Invites
Send an invite to friend in the UMW community who has yet to see the genius of UMW Blogs! :) You just need their e-mail address and you can send them a custom message, the e-mail will give them a direct link to sign-up for their own blog. Obviously not the most important tan in UMW Blogs.
