Click the Add User button in the Users subwindow.
Enter the following information:

Set conditions might apply to the minimum number of characters or combination of characters that can be set as a password. Passwords that do not meet these conditions cannot be set. For information on the set conditions, contact your system administrator.

NOTE: In the HiCommand Suite of products earlier than version 5.5, the number of characters that can be set for a user ID and for a password is between 4 bytes and 25 bytes. For environments that contain HiCommand Suite products of version 5.5 or later, together with products earlier than version 5.5, set a user ID using between 4 bytes and 25 bytes.

Full Name (optional). Enter no more than 80 Basic Latin characters. Basic Latin characters are the following characters (Unicode 0020 to 007E):

A-Z a-z 0-9 ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ (space)

NOTE: You cannot use two or more dollar signs ($)consecutively (for example, $$ or $$$). Also, the full name is displayed in the global tasks bar area after a user logs in. If this item is omitted, the user ID will be displayed in the global tasks bar area.

Email (optional). Enter no more than 255 alphanumeric characters.
Description (optional) (e.g., job title). Enter no more than 80 characters, using the character set allowed for the full name.

Click the OK button to save the settings. The user account is created and you are returned to the Users subwindow. The new user account appears in the user list.

NOTE: The new user cannot access Navigator 2 yet because he or she does not have any permissions or a resource group. To enable the new user to access Device Manager, you must set permissions and assign a resource group to the user.
