Click then on “Administrator”.
Afterwards click on “Add a user“.
Here you enter all user information for the new user. Passwords are sent to the address specified in the next step. You can also choose to create a password already. Be sure to choose the right license for the user under “product licenses” where it says “Decision required”.
Click then on “Add“.

Then click “Send Email and Close.”
