Managing Users 

Users and groups are accessed under the Users & Groups tab. Users and groups can be added manually or
through LDAP Discovery or CSV upload.

An administrator can add a user and group by providing basic details through a web form. Users can only be
added if their SMTP address domain has already been registered.

Check out our video How to Manually Create Users with information on creating users, editing their profiles, and performing mass updates.
