The company president as well as the public relations director and product manager are all going to need to be able to edit the website, so we need to create logins for them.

1. First, go to http://localhost/joomla15/administrator and log in with the username “admin” and the password you specified during the installation. If you are already logged in, go to the “Site” menu and select “Control Panel.”

2. Click on “User Manager:”

3. Click on “New” from the Joomla! toolbar.

4. Enter details for each user you wish to create. Give both the president and public relations director the group level “Administrator” so that they can make changes to the site. Give the product manager the “Manager” group level so that he can add products but not make changes to the website

5. Press “Save” when you are done creating each user.

6. Next, we need to set up a way for visitors to the site to contact the president, PR director, and product manager. From the Components” menu, select “Contacts” and then “Categories.”

7. Create a new category titled “Corporate” and press “Save.”

8. Click on the “Contacts” button and then press “New.”

9. Create four different contacts—one for the president, one for the PR director, one for the product manager, and one for yourself: the web master. Be sure to include their e-mail addresses and positions within the company. Place each user inside of the “Corporate” category that we created earlier and link each contact to the user that we created earlier:
