To add a new user to your site, fill in the form on this screen and click the Add New User button at the bottom.
New users are automatically assigned a password, which they can change after logging in. You can view or edit the assigned password by clicking the Show Password button. The username cannot be changed once the user has been added.
By default, new users will receive an email letting them know they’ve been added as a user for your site. This email will also contain a password reset link. Uncheck the box if you don’t want to send the new user a welcome email.
Remember to click the Add New User button at the bottom of this screen when you are finished.
