PsychoStats » PsychoStats Configuration » Manage Users

Managing users allows an admin to edit and create new users in the system. Users are not the same as players. A user allows someone to login to the stats page and users can be associated with a player. This way when a user logs in they can edit their own player profile.

Users can also be an Administrator or Clan Administrator which gives them special privileges. An Admin can access the ACP and have full control over the configuration of your stats website. And a Clan Admin can edit the profile of the clan they are a member of.

From the user management page you can also confirm pending users that have registered but are not 'confirmed' yet. Users that are not confirmed can not actually login yet. See the config option registration for more information about how users are confirmed.

[edit] Integration

The user system in PsychoStats was designed to be extremely flexible and to easily integrate PsychoStats into an already existing website. The PsychoStats front-end has a user handler that defines all the functions and variables needed for a user session to function within a PsychoStats website. The user handler is nothing more than a PHP file that holds all of the important user routines. These routines determine how to fetch user information, maintain sessions, user authorization, etc. Creating a new user handler file is all that is needed in order to have PsychoStats function within your existing website.
