Adding a user

You can add a user if you are a global administrator or can access the Users view from the Add menu. Global administrators can complete more user management tasks than non-administrators who can access the Users view.

About this task

To access the Users menu, all workspaces must be closed.

To add a user:

Procedure

    • Full name
    • User name, which is the name that the user logs in with. This name must be unique.
    • Password
    • Email
