Adding Members to Sites
Users and sites are central concepts in Liferay DXP. Sites store all your content and pages, while users access and create that content. User management is covered in User Management, but site-specific configurations for assigning users to sites are detailed here.
Managing Site Membership
Administrators can manage site members with the site’s Memberships app.
-
Open the Product Menu (
), click the compass icon (
), and select the site you want to manage.
-
Select People → Memberships.
If you don’t see this option, manual membership is disabled. To enable manual membership, select Site Settings → Site Configuration. In the Details tab, toggle Allow Manual Membership Management.
From the Memberships app, you can view a list of current site members and manage site memberships, organizations, and user group associations. Learn more in Users and Organizations.
Adding Members to a Site

Click New (
) in the top right of the screen.
