Creating a New User

1. To log-in to Azure Active Directory Admin Portal, search for User Management in the top right corner.

   

2. Click on Microsoft 365 Admin Centre from the menu bar. Only an Admin can access this link.

   

3. The Microsoft Admin Portal is opened. Select Add User.

   

4. Enter the Name, Display Name and Username of the new user.

   

5. Select the Automatically Create a Password checkbox to generate a password for the user, the Require this user to change their password when they first sign in checkbox to prompt the user to create a new password when they first login, or the Send password in the email upon completion checkbox to send the user’s password in the email specified. Click Next.

   

6. On the following page, select the user’s Location and then Create user without product licence. This is recommended because the user is only used for authentication in Garage Hive. Click Next.

   

7. Enter the Profile Info for the user; this is optional and can be skipped.

   

8. If you want to give the user access to the Admin Centre, go to Roles and then select Admin center access. Then, from the list, you can assign the suitable admin access. Give users only the access they need by assigning the least-permissive role; this is optional and can be skipped. Click Next.

   

9. Review the information you’ve entered on the next page, and if you want to change something, click Edit next to it. Click Finish Adding to add the new user.

1. The user has been added. Share the User Details with the user so that they can login. To close the page, click Close.
