Adding Users Manually into PAM360
(This procedure is applicable prior to build 6700)

PAM360 allows administrators to create users manually and assign different user roles to them based on the level of access they need. Once created, the users will get an email with the details of their account and login credentials. While adding users manually, administrators can tailor the access levels and individual preferences such as GUI language, based on the organization's requirements.

Note: User addition can be carried out only by Administrators, or Privileged Administrators, or by users with custom roles having similar permissions.
