In order to create a new user first of all you have to have permission to do so. If you are logged in as "bcadmin", you are always able to. Select User - Management --> Create new user. This will open the following mask:
Fig. 5.2.1.1 - Create a new user (example input, part 1)
Enter the user information here (first name, last name, email address, etc.). Log-in and password each must have a minimum of six characters. Aside from the number of characters, both log-in name and password are entirely your choice. Letters, numbers, or special characters may be used.
You may define the duration of a session for each user. This is the period of time the user remains logged in without performing any action. After this time expires, the user will be logged out automatically and has to log in again. This will still apply if the user is composing a newsletter, pauses for lunch, and returns after the session time has expired.
Abb. 5.2.1.2 - Create a new user (example input, part 2)
You may choose each user's system language, applying to all menues, buttons, etc.. Currently available are English, German and Polish.
If you want users to be able to change their password themselves, select “yes.”, "no" revokes this permission.
Users are able to train the intelligent mail filter (IMF) in order to increase hit rate of automated categorization. Since misuse of this feature may lead to unpredictable results, BACKCLICK allows to refuse this permission for users. To grant this permission to the user, select “yes”, otherwise “no”.
You may activate or deactivate a user account by selecting “active” or “locked”. This makes sense for temporary users (guest columnists, etc.).
Setup possibility for selection of mailing lists (sender).
If your administrator allowed using the HTML Editor in basic settings, every other user has the possibility to use it as well. The HTML Editor enables you to compose an HTML newsletter even without any knowledge of HTML. Text may be inserted without paying attention to format and it will stil be displayed correctly in your newsletter. If this feature is deactivated, every text has to be inserted with all HTML information necessary.
This defines whether server time and username will be displayed in the top left corner of the administrator interface.
This defines whether the user will be able to export subscriber passwords.
You will only need this option, if you plan to add a second administrator. It does not make sense to grad administrator's rights to alot of users. To grant or deny administrative rights to a new user, choose “Yes” or “No.”
You have to define which mailing lists the user is allowed to access. The user will only be able to see, edit and delete subscribers of the lists he or she has access to. This also applies to statistical data and bounce emails.
The mandatorial feature of BACKCLICK can be used here. You have the choice of two “Multiple Select Boxes”. The lefthand box contains the mailing lists available, the righthand box contains the mailing lists the user has access to. In order to move the mailing lists from the one box to the other, use the buttons between the boxes. There are single and double arrows for each direction. The single arrows will only move marked entries from one box to the other, the double arrows will move all entries.

BACKCLICK supports comparison of email addresses with the internal robinson database. This comparison may be done using a file as source. The maximum size of these files for this user is defined here.
The last part of the section Create new User defines which submenues and items the user has access to. In order to keep this part as simple as possible, every submenu and the corresponding menu items are displayed in a list. You are able to add or remove all permissions at once using the - and
-buttons. Permission management may also be defined for individual menu items:
Select all permissions the user is supposed to have access to and save the user's profile using the "save"-button.
