Adding a User

You use the Users module to add a profile for a new user to your site. If you want to associate the user with an organization, you must create the organization profile in the Organizations module before you can associate a user profile with the profile of that organization.

Note

• Your New User screen may not contain the same properties that are included in this procedure. The properties in the New User screen are controlled by the User object profile definition. If you have changed the properties in the User object profile definition, those changes will be reflected in the New User screen. For information about changing the properties of a profile definition, see Managing Profile Definitions.
