Add a User

Once you have companies in your database, it is time to populate the user database. Using the Trade Registration from the previous section will allow your users to add themselves to your database without any administrative intervention from you, or you can add your users in manually using the Add User function.

  1. Click 'Admin' in the top menu bar and select Add User in the User Management menu on the left.
