To manage users and roles, go to Tools > Users.

There are three built-in roles, and new roles can be created at any time. These include:
Click on the Settings link on the Users page to edit your site's user settings. These currently include the following options:
Users have the following built-in properties:
Custom properties such as a company name, phone number, etc. can be added to users by clicking the Custom Fields link on the Users page. These will appear under the Custom Fields section of the user add/edit forms.
To create a new user role, click on the Roles link on the Users page, then click the Add Role link on the Roles page.
Each role has a name and a series of checkboxes that specify the permissions for that role.
The first checkbox, labelled Default access for this role, determines whether Elefant should default to denying or allowing access to the various permissions. Checking it will also check every other permission, so you can then uncheck specific permissions to limit the role from accessing. For most roles, you will want to leave this unchecked.
Some examples of the available permissions include:
The available permissions will grow as you install new Elefant apps, which may define their own custom permissions in addition to the core permissions.
