The Users list is a record of all user names and passwords that grant access to the administration area. You can easily add new users and modify or delete existing users as needed. You may not delete the last user record, as there must always be at least one admin user. You can also give users different access levels.
By default, Cartweaver has four access levels -- service, manager, merchant, and developer. The Developer has access to everything in the Administration area, including web site configuration. Other admin access levels have what is shown in the table below.
The Merchant access level can be modified from the default settings shown below by going to the Config Groups page and checking or un-checking the "Show Merchant" field. All other access levels are fixed at the default settings shown below.
You can add as many users as you like and assign a user name and password to each user. Users may only have one access level assigned to them.
Security Note to Remeber: Be sure to change the password for the primary Developer from "admin" before your store goes live.

This page controls the way many elements in the admin are viewed and partly what special features are available, such as the WYSIWYG text editors. You can also select which admin skin you want to use. There are three skin selections available--choose the one that matches your front-end site design the best.
Note: For more detailed information for each control, click on the control name or the blue (?) to open the help / hint information.
These are the various mini reports you see on the Admin Home page when you first log into your store admin. This page allows you to turn these off or on and to set how many records you wish to see in each.
This page controls many of the defaults of how your products are displayed in your store, and many of the labels your customers see. Take time to see what each field controls - remember to click the little question mark in each field for additional information. You may want to try changing some of the settings, then previewing your product/store pages to see the effects. This will help you decide on what is best for your store and layout.
