3.1.10 - Users
This is the users admin tool of your program.
Groups of users
A group of users is a set of users who meet a criteria you specify.
This feature is a powerful tool for your program organization, specially for the mass mailer.
The groups of users at database shows all groups of your program including the number of users in each group.
Operations lets you edit and delete the groups.
Add/edit a group
Use this to create/edit the name and the criteria of the group.
The group criteria is simply a MySQL® condition for a select statement in the users table:
`select * from GPTE_Members where <YOUR CRITERIA>`
For example, if you want to select the users with more than 100 points in their accounts, in the MySQL® console you enter the query:
`select * from GPTE_Members where Points > 100`
So, your criteria would be:
`Points > 100`
If you have the user information Gender and Birthday in your program, to create a group of male users with age ranging from 25 to 30 years the criteria would be:
`(upper(Gender)="MALE") and (Birthday<=curdate()-interval 25 year) and (Birthday>=curdate()-interval 30 year)`
Refresh groups
Since the groups criteria can be based on dynamic information, use this to update the users table.
Reset counter
Use this to reset the counter (#) of the groups.
Users
In this field you can perform a very detailed management of the users of your program.
The table of users shows the number of users you specify in descending order of signup.
Active users are those who have completed the signup form and have their e-mail address verified.
Inactive users have not verified their e-mail address yet.
Suspended have their account froze for low activiy or for being under inverstigation.
Vacation users are those who have asked to be away for your program for a while.
From operations you can edit, credit/debit, view stats and delete the user.
The user stats show detailed earnings and downline/upline information.
Use the credit/debit function to credit or debit the user account both in cash or points.
Add/edit an user
Use this to add an user by hand in your program or edit his/her account details.
You can edit default information as username and password and your custom created information as well.
In the admin info you can, for your own control, write some notes about the user.
Search for users
With this tool you can perform advanced searching operations at users database.
Restore uplines
When an user is deleted from your program a "hole" can be left on some users referral uplines.
This tool offers two methods for restoring the broken uplines:

- Tie up broken uplines
  The members of the deleted users downlines are moved up one level in their referral uplines.
- Cut up broken uplines
  All downlines of the deleted users are discarded.

Note that this operation can be very resource consuming if you have a lot of users in your program.
Reset users counter
Use this to reset the counter (#) of the users.
