New users

Normal user registration is automated and immediate. By default, Pligg 1.0 requires a user to validate their email address in an effort to reduce spam users. A unique username, email address and password (and an optional CAPTCHA confirmation) are required when registering a new account. Upon successful registrations, users are taken to their Profile page. There they can modify their profile and site preferences.

New users can also be created by a God administrator from the User Manager page in the admin panel.

User Levels

Three user levels for registered users. Unregistered visitors can browse the site and optionally vote anonymously.

Normal - default level for new user registrations. These users can submit stories, vote, comment, modify password and personal data on personal profile page, optionally upload a custom avatar

Admin - in addition to Normal privileges, admins can edit stories, ban story source URLs, change story status (published, queued, discard), and disable users.

God - A super admin level named "god" gives access to the Pligg Admin control panel. The control panel allows you to manage site settings that only the site owner should control. By default the "god" users password when installing Pligg is 12345.
