In the Navigator pane, double-click the Administration folder.
Right-click the Users folder, and click New... in the shortcut menu.
The New window opens; on the General tab, select User to open the User editor. Follow the succeeding steps below on how to create a user. To create a group to categorize the users that you created, select the Group option. For further information, refer to the About the Group Editor section for information on creating a user group.
On the General tab, type a name for the user. For example, jmiller. This is the name that the user will use to log into EPX.

When creating a user ID or group ID, do not use any spaces in the name (i.e., use jmiller rather than j miller).
User and group IDs are case sensitive.
You should create users and roles with unique names.
In the Description box, you can provide a description for the user to identify that particular user. You can also specify whether the user is an Audit Administrator by selecting the checkbox beside the Audit Administrator option. You can indicate whether the user can be in multiple sessions by selecting the Multiple Session checkbox, or indicate if the user is inactive by selecting the Inactive checkbox.
Click the Details tab. Type the user’s first name and last name in the appropriate boxes, and fill in as much additional information for the user as necessary. Click the Select button next to Manager and select Manager on the list.
Click Password to enter a password for the user.

Type the user’s password twice (once to select, once to confirm) and click OK.
