  • After completion , Click ‘Next’ for the next step. Step 1 Complete.

Step 2: Groups

Groups’  step allows you to assign the new user to relevant security groups or mailing lists.Users must select the group that the user belongs to or should be involved in.

Crucially, for each group selected, users can also define the new user's assigned role, whether they are a Member, a Manager, or an Owner, which dictates their permissions within that specific group.


Field Name Description
Search An input field used to filter and quickly locate specific groups within the list.
Groups List (Checkboxes) A list of all available security or mailing groups. You can select one or more groups to add the new user to.

After completion , Click ‘Next’ for the next step. Step 2 Complete.

 

Step 3: Employee Information

The Employee Information consists of Employee Related and Primary Organization, which helps users to simply where you enter the new user's core professional details: their unique Employee ID, the Manager's Email for who they report to, and their overall employment status and category (Type of Employee) within the company.

For Primary Organization, it defines the user's structural context, such as their formal Job Title, Department, and the exact category of employment they fall under (Type of Employee). This section also links the employee to the financial tracking unit (Cost Center) and their physical work location.

After completion , Click ‘Next’ for the next step. Step 3 Complete.

Step 4: Profile Information

The Profile Information section in the user creation process allows administrators to define and record a comprehensive set of contact and identity details for the new user.

It organizes data into expandable categories, such as Addresses, Phones, Emails, and IDs, enabling the input of multiple pieces of information per field as needed.


Add-New-User_4-Profile-Information

Addresses Used to record all physical addresses associated with the user, such as work, home, or mailing addresses.
Emails Allows the administrator to input secondary or recovery email addresses for the user, separate from their primary account email.
Gender Records the user's specified gender identity for administrative and directory purposes.
ID's Used to store various official or internal identification numbers for the user (e.g., employee ID, government ID number).
Instant Messaging Records the user's handles or addresses for various instant messaging platforms.
Notes Provides a free-form field for administrators to record any important unstructured text or internal memos related to the user's profile.
Organizations Used to list the user's professional organizations, including details like job title, department, or company they belong to.
Phones Records all phone numbers associated with the user, such as work, mobile, home, or fax numbers.
Relations Allows the recording of relationships the user has with other people, such as emergency contacts or direct reports.
Websites Used to list personal or professional websites or URLs associated with the user.

Step 5: Welcome Recipients

The Welcome Recipients step in the user creation process functions as the final communication interface, ensuring the new user and designated parties receive the necessary account credentials.

This step allows the administrator to send a customizable email that automatically includes the user's new email address, a temporary password, and essential sign-in links for Google services and gPanel. The content is editable and includes fields for To, Cc, and Bcc to control who receives the notification, streamlining the user onboarding process.

Set up the recipient cc and bcc and click Save. Step 5 is complete.

Step 6: Policies

The Policies step in the user creation process requires the administrator to select which pre-configured, domain-defined policies should be applied to the new account.

The administrator should review the list of policies — which may include automated settings, security rules, or account delegation rules, as indicated by the "Add Delegate To Account" button — and then check the box next to each policy they intend for the new user to inherit.

After making all necessary selections, the administrator must click NEXT to save the changes and proceed to the final step of the user creation process.

Step 7: Review

The Review step in the "Create User" process serves as the final confirmation screen, allowing the administrator to verify all configured account details before creation. It displays a concise summary of the new user's User Email, names, assigned Organization Unit and gPanel Role, and confirms important settings like the password change requirement and group memberships.

The administrator must review this summary before clicking CREATE USER to finalize the process.
