how to add internal user

[wayenng]

Hi all,

I installed the Alfresco Community Edition recently and it using the localhost 127.0.0.1:8080 for my site.
I want to add the internal user but in vain. I checked the documentation and even no idea.

Grateful if someone can help me.

Thanks,
Wayne

Greetings,

Was this by chance the documentation that you took a look at?

http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/alfresco-tutorial-21.html

This video was helpful when I was first learning how to add users (In fact I followed along with most of these tutorial videos at first because I found the material easier to digest from a brand new user's perspective).

Best,
William

Try the following documentation. I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for though.

Thx William.

Sorry for the ambiguous and let me reconstruct my question in simple.

As under the "http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/page/", i can create "new user" and assign the email address, eg. newuser1@yahoo.com,
then I create a task and set the newuser1 as reviewer as well as select email notification but no email received finally.

Can u figure out why the newuser1 cannot receive email please?

Have you actually set up outbound email in alfresco-global.properties? And if you have, are you sure its working?

[wayenng]

Thx a lot rjohnson,

Is it because i sending outbound email hence it require for set of outbound email?

In-addition, if i send the for the internal user instead, is it available to issue the email? (without any configure or set up anything)
Kindly for your advise pls.

Hi wayenng,

Not sure I understand what you mean by "if I send for the internal user instead", but if you want to receive a mail based on doing something in Alfresco, then Alfresco needs to understand how to send mail - so you will need some kind of outbund SMTP server setup configured. 

The good news is that you don't you don't need to install a local email to do this.  You can use e.g. gmail or yahoo to do the heavy work and just add a couple of lines in your global.properties file as shown here: http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/email-outboundsmtp-props.html

There are example settings for gmail at the bottom, or you can point at a company SMTP server if you have one just as easily

Regards

Steven
