Creating a User

Note: if you are using Active Directory to manage users, see Importing user groups from Active Directory. You cannot create individual user accounts in an Active Directory tenancy.

You can create a new user account in the Administration pane of HotDocs Advance.

To create a new user

1. In the Administration pane, click Manage users.
2. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click Create new user.
3. Enter the following user details:
• First name (required) – the user's first name.
• Last name (required) – the user's last name.
• Email address (required) – used to e-mail a user with password reset instructions.
• Administrative roles (optional) – if appropriate, select the administrative role to assign to the user.
• Active – if disabled, users cannot log in to Advance.
• Send invitation email – by default, Advance sends e-mails to new users, inviting them to log into the site; if you do not send the e-mail now, you can re-send the user invitation e-mail later.
4. Click Create.

The new user appears in the User list.
