Move Joomla user management to the frontend

It works with Joomla, not against it: every change is written straight to the core #__users, #__usergroups and #__viewlevels tables, so the frontend and backend always stay in sync.

Key features

• Create & edit users — auto-generated passwords, welcome emails via Joomla's MailTemplate, individual or bulk activate / block / delete.
• Manage user groups — hierarchical tree view, nested indentation, admin-group badges, create / rename / delete.
• Manage access levels — checkbox interface with select-all / deselect-all, full create and edit support.
• Custom fields support — any com_fields user fields you create automatically appear in the frontend create / edit form, grouped in cards per field group, with all Joomla field types supported.
• Search, sort, filter, paginate — fast user list that scales to thousands of accounts.
• Username = email — optional setting that simplifies registration and login. The included plugin extends this behavior to Joomla's own profile and registration forms.

Two permission modes

Hierarchical mode (default) — a 3-tier system (Frontend Superuser → Admin → No access) based on Joomla's nested-set group structure. Each admin can only manage users and groups within their own branch of the tree. Ideal for multi-tenant setups: schools with multiple branches, organizations with departments, agencies with multiple clients on one site.

Joomla standard mode — uses Joomla's built-in com_users ACL (core.manage, core.create, core.edit, core.delete). Same rules in frontend and backend. Best for flat user structures or when ACL is already configured.

Switch modes at any time — settings are preserved.

Visibility controls

Hide system groups, Super Users, technical access levels and anything else your frontend admins shouldn't see:

• Hidden from lists — groups hidden from dropdowns and filters.
• Hidden completely — groups invisible everywhere in the component.
• Hidden access levels — specific levels not shown in the frontend.
• Super Users are always hidden automatically.

Included plugin: Username & email sync

The package includes plg_user_userfrontendsyncmail — a user plugin that hides the username field in Joomla's own profile and registration forms and keeps username synchronized with email on every save. Activated automatically on installation.
