Step 2: Navigating to Active users

Once inside the Admin Center, go to the “Users” section on the left-hand side and click on “Active users.” This is where you’ll find a list of all the current users in your organization.

Step 3: Adding a new user

Click on the “Add a user” button at the top of the Active Users page. This will bring up a form where you can input all the necessary details for the new user.

Step 4: Inputting user details

Start by filling in the basic information like the user’s first and last name, display name, and a unique username. You’ll also need to decide whether to auto-generate a password or create one manually. Remember to check the option that requires the user to change their password upon first sign-in, enhancing security.

Step 5: Assigning licenses

Next, assign the appropriate licenses based on the user’s role in the company. This will determine what Office 365 services the user can access.

Step 6: Configuring user settings

In this step, you can assign roles (Standard user or Admin) and add optional profile information. Tailoring these settings ensures that users have the correct permissions and that their profile reflects their role in the organization.

Step 7: Reviewing and finalizing

Before you finish, review all the information you’ve entered. Double-checking ensures that there are no errors. Once you’re satisfied, click “Finish adding” to create the user.
