New / Existing User Information
Description: Give your user a short description to help you remember who it is. For example, you might enter "Site Administrator" or "Aunt Martha".
Username: A unique one-word identifier for this user (no two users may have the same username). The user will be required to enter the
username when logging in. 20 characters max.
Password: A secret word or string of characters (no spaces) that this user must also enter when logging in. When entered by the user in the appropriate field, the actual
characters typed will be replaced on the screen by asterisks or some other character for privacy. 20 chars max.

Phone, E-mail, Web Site, Address, Notes: Optional information pertaining to the user.
Access Limits
To make this user an administrator and assign rights to all trees, check the option labeled "Allow access to all system settings...". To restrict access to a particular
tree and branch, check the option labeled "Restrict access". You will then be asked to select a tree, and this user's rights will be restricted to that tree. IMPORTANT: If you are creating an
administrator, you must leave the tree blank so that the administrator will have access to all trees PLUS all system-wide settings and functions. Selecting a tree will deny this user
access to any system-wide settings and functions. Since the first user created must be an administrator, you will not be able to select a tree for the first user created.
You may also select a branch (optional). If you do select a branch, this user's rights will be restricted to this branch within the selected tree.
