Andrew and Jaime, 1) The Profile Manager in the Admin panel doesn't link to anything at the minute - is this intentional or a bug in our install? The Profile Manager isn't functional yet (it's intended to support the mobile data collection app that we're working on).
2) If it is intentional, and it's not ready for use yet, can a new user (and their respective permissions) be created some other way in the meantime? Yes, you can manage users and permissions as follows: go to http://localhost:8000/admin/ (of course, your domain may not be "localhost", use the domain name or IP address of your server). You'll find user and group management tools here. 3) Does V4 support import of shapefiles in the same manner as V3? V4 treats shapefiles as csv files. If you want to import a shapefile into v4, first save it as a csv with the geometry field saved as WKT (well known text) with an SRID of 4326. QGIS makes this very easy (simply right-click on your shapefile in QGIS's layers panel the click on "Save As..." your shapefile as .csv). Then load as any other csv.
