1. In the Admin Console, go to DirectoryPeople.

2. Click Add Person.

   • Username: Enter the user's username in email format.
   • Primary email: Enter the user's primary email if it's different from their username.

   • Realm: Select a realm or apply a realm assignment. See Realm assignments for more information.

     Delegated realm admins can only select realms or create users in realms where they have admin privileges.
