 The user manager works with a variety of different authorization backends, they tell it whether certain functions (e.g. user editing) are available and it adjusts its user interface accordingly. At present the user manager does not provide any validation of data used to create new users or modify existing users.

 =====FAQ=====
-===Is there a way to see all contributions by a user with this plugin (or another)?===
+=== Why can I not edit users? ===
-Not with this plugin. But the [[Editor]] plugin can show a list of recently changed pages by a given user, ip or group.
-===Why i cannot edit users?===
 Check the permissions of the file conf/users.auth.php. It needs to be writable for your webserver. This can be checked by adding ''?do=check'' to url.
-> With mysql authentication, you cannot edit update users when using an older configuration file 'conf/mysql.conf.php'.  The checkbox or link to users for editing or updating users will not work.  To fix this, please upgrade to the newer version of the config file, using (needs renaming $conf['auth']['mysql'] to $conf['plugin']['authmysql']) to be able to edit the users.  Read carefully [[plugin:authmysql | plugin authmysql]].
+Also make sure your auth backend actually supports editing users.
+=== Can I give non-superusers access to usermanager? ===
-===Can i give non-superusers access to usermanager?===
+Not by configuration. Since this plugin allows changing groups, this would allow a manager to gain additional permissions, eg. by adding themselves into the admin group.
-You can configure a "manager", these get access to some tools on the admin window, but default no access to user and ACL manager. When you add the next snippet to ''admin.php'' of the wanted plugin, it will appear in the admin window of managers
+The plugin [[plugin:usermanagerextended]] does give [[config:manager|managers]] restricted access, while preventing them from modifying superusers or escalating privileges.
