2. Click Add an entity () and then click User ().
3. On the User information page, enter a username that does not already exist.

5. Enter the user's first and last name.
6. From the User group list, select the parent group for the new user.
   The user automatically inherits the properties of its parent user group.

   NOTE: Concerning the user's partition membership:

   • If you select Unassigned, the new user will be added to the root partition.
   • If you select a parent user group, the new user will be added to the same partition that the parent user group belongs to.
7. To grant the user a predefined set of privileges, select a Privilege template from the drop-down list.
   NOTE: If you are unsure of what privileges the user needs, you can postpone this decision to later. The privilege template can be applied at any time.

9. Click Next.
