Alternatively, you can activate a user by clicking on the Configure menu option in the user details screen,
and provide an email address and password yourself (see Figure 7.5, “Creating a new user account by
signing up”).

It is worth noting that, if your email addresses are synchronized with your version control user names (for
example, if you work at acme.com, and user “joe” in your version control system has an email address
of [email protected]), you can get Jenkins to derive the email address from a user name by adding a suffix
that you configure in the Email Notification section (see Figure 7.6, “Synchronizing email addresses”).
If you have set up this sort of configuration, you don’t need to specify the email address for new users
unless it does not respect this convention.

Another way to manage the current active users (those who can actually log on to Jenkins) is by clicking
on the Manage Users link in the main Jenkins configuration page (see Figure 7.7, “You can also manage
Jenkins users from the Jenkins configuration page”).
