C11.5 Create a new user from within a space

Managers can create new user and external user accounts from within a space if this action has been enabled on by a site admin on the parent or top-level space.

When a user is created from within a space, this space becomes the primary space of that user. The primary space can be later changed. See D4.2 Assign or change a user's primary space.

2. Click Manage Space in the right-hand sidebar. The Manage Space modal will open at the People tab.

3. Click CREATE NEW USER at the top of the people column of this modal. A New User modal will open.

No CREATE NEW USER button? User creation has not been enabled for this space. See the Settings tab to edit this if you are an elevated site admin.

4. See >>D4.1 Create a new user to edit this user’s details.

5. Click Save. The new user will receive an email entitled ‘Please set your password’ with sign in instructions.
