Summary
Digital Experience Engine has a simplified user system that allows you to invite other users and admins to your site. There are two available roles (Authenticated user, DXE Manager) and two user statuses (Active or Blocked). All users can update their own information. DXE Managers can create users, assign roles, and update all other users' information. Authenticated users can view content, while DXE Managers can create, edit and delete content.
Since this article covers user administration, only users with the DXE Manager role can follow these instructions.
This article has the following sections:
