Add a User

When adding a user, you can:

• Add a user and allocate it to one or more existing user groups.
• Determine which contract parties the user can access, preventing access to all other contract parties.
• Assign the user to one or more roles, where different roles have different user privileges.

  Note: You can duplicate an existing user to add a new user based on an existing one. For more information, see Duplicating a User.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Add New in the Users page.
