administration
go to http://<IP address>/admin/ and sign in
Lots of admin stuff here. in line Users click +Add to create new user
type username and password, then click Save
type your email, name and check in checkboxes.Save
We need to create User Profile for new user.on User profiles line, click +Add
select newly created User and Save
That’s it.Now you can login under your email

But there are still lots of things to set before you go to public
Like having website on your own domain.
