Create a new user

Complete the following steps to create and authorize new user.

  1. Click Create New User.
  2. In the Users/New screen, enter information for the new user in the
    First Name, Last Name, Email Address and Phone Number fields and click Create New User when finished.
    Note: This generates an email to the new user to register.
  3. After the new user is registered, open the Account > Permissions page
    to assign authorization for the user.
    Note: If you already have a user whose authorization profile would be suitable for the user currently being assigned authorities, you can use the Clone option from the *User List** page.
  4. On the Permissions / Assign By User page, click on the name of the user
    to assign authorization.
    Note: Review the Permission Guide, linked on the Permissions / Assign By User for information on assignment and permission management options.
  5. Under the Account Permissions tab, select the checkboxes for the
    authorizations to assign.
    Note: Assigning Account Administrator authorization grants the same permissions as you have. If you don't want to assign that much authority, but are setting up a technical contact, be sure to assign at least the following:
    • Manage My Contact info
    • Manage SSL Certs
    • View Reports
    • View and Edit Account Tickets
    • View and Edit Domains
  6. Under the Cloud Accounts tab, assign Edit or Admin authority.

    authority.
