Hi ​@mnicoletti

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re glad to help adding new users! 

 

To add a new user, please follow the steps below: 

  1. Go to Admin Console > Users and Groups.
  2. Click the Managed Users tab.
  3. Click Add Users (Add Users button) and then click Add Users Manually.
  4. Enter the managed user's name and email address. 
  5. Optionally select Groups for the user to be a member of and Folders for the user to have access to.
  6. Optionally hover over a user row and click the gear icon (Gear icon.png) to configure other user settings for that new user or click 3 dots button and then click Select User Settings for All Rows to configure other user settings for all new users. See the Managed Users Tab section of Users & Groups Settings for details.
  7. Optionally click Add User to add a row to the table. Then repeat steps 4 through 6 for each user.
  8. Click Save.

Once you create the user, you can additionally configure the user account.

 

Do you have trouble adding the user? If yes, please don’t hesitate to reply and attach a screenshot of your error. 

 

Thanks for posting, and we look forward to hear back from you!
