Lets administrators create user accounts from the ACP.
- New Add User page under ACP → Users and Groups.
- Set username, email, password (left blank, a random one is generated and never emailed), language and birthday.
- Choose the user's group and optionally make it their default group; optionally add them to Newly registered users.
- Follows the board's activation setting: the new user gets an email with a link to set their own password, or with admin activation you can activate the account on the spot. With user activation, the email has the activation link instead, and the user sets their password with Forgot password after activating.
- Every account created is recorded in the admin log.
- phpBB 3.3.19 or later
- PHP 8.0 or later
- Copy the extension to
/ext/phpbbmodders/adduser - In the Administration Control Panel, go to Customise → Manage extensions
- Enable the Add User extension
- Add users under ACP → Users and Groups → Add User
