Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Create Administrator link to display the Create Administrator page.
In the Administrator Details section, enter the details of the administrator. The following table explains the fields on this page:

Input	Description

Organization	The display name of the organization to which the administrator will belong. You have to select the organization that is configured for the WebFort User Password authentication mechanism. See "Creating and Activating Organizations" for more information. Note: This is not the organization that this administrator will manage.

In the Email Address(es) section, enter the email address of the administrator for the email types that are configured for the organization.

If multiple telephone types are configured, enter values for all the mandatory telephone types.
In the Custom Attributes section, enter the Name and Value of any attributes you want to add, such as personal email address or home phone number.
Click Next to proceed.
The next page to Create Administrator appears.
On this page:
- Specify the role of the new administrator from the Role drop-down list.
- In the Manages section, select the organizations that fall within the scope of the administrator by performing one of the following steps:
  - Select the All Organizations option, if you want the administrator to manage all current and future organizations in the system.
  - Select the required organizations from the Available Organizations list and click the > button to add these organizations to the Selected Organizations list.
    The Available Organizations list displays all the organizations that are available in the scope of the administrator creating this administrator. The Selected Organizations displays the list of organizations that you have selected for the administrator to manage.
Click Create to save the changes, create the administrator.
A success message appears indicating that the administrator was created successfully. This message also includes the activation code that the new administrator can use to log in for the first time. The following is a sample message:
```
"Successfully created the administrator. The activation code for first login for this administrator is 03768672."
```
Note down the numeric activation code that you see as a part of the success message and communicate it to the administrator.
