5. Click Add Grantee.
   The Choose Grantee dialog appears.
6. From the Select Grantee section, click Group if you want to issue this grant to groups. User is selected by default; ensure that it is selected if you want to issue the grant to individual user accounts.
7. In the Grantee Name/Email field, enter the name or email addresses of the user or group you want to add.
8. Click Add.
   The user or group is issued the grant if they exist in the identity management system. If the user or group does not exist, you receive an error like this: Grantee user was not added. The user with ID "user" does not exist.
9. Repeat Step 6 through Step 8 to issue the grant to additional users or groups.

The user(s) or group(s) are issued the application grant you chose.
