  7. Click Create.
    The new user is added to the selected group(s) and has permissions assigned to the group by its policy statement.
  8. On the user details page that is displayed, you can edit user information as needed, and reset the user's password.
    • Name: A unique name or email address for the user. The name must be unique across all users in your tenancy. You cannot change this value later. The name must meet the following requirements: no spaces, only Basic Latin letters (ASCII), numerals, hyphens, periods, underscores, +, and @.
    • Description: This value could be the user's full name, a nickname, or other descriptive information. You can change this value later.
    • Email: Enter an email address for the user. This email address is used for password recovery. The email address must be unique in the tenancy. If the user forgets their password, they can click Forgot Password on the sign on page, and a temporary password is generated and sent to the email address provided here. The user or an administrator can also update the email address later.
  9. Provide new users with the credentials they need to sign in to their tenancy. Upon signing in, they will be prompted to enter a new password.
