How to Add Users to the Office 365

Adding Users to the O365:
As a best practice, when you first sign in to the Office 365 portal, you should create a second Global administrator account. In situations where the administrator is unavailable due to unexpected circumstances, or the password is forgotten, having a second global administrator account ensures access to all configuration and setup capabilities. First, you will create John Snow’s account and make him a Global administrator. Then, you will create a standard user account for Robb Stark.

1.      Click setup in the left pane and select start.

2.      Click Add users and assign licenses

3.      Select Add users one at a time and click next.

4.      For First name, enter John; for Last name, enter Snow; for Display name, enter John Snow; and for User name, enter Johnsnow.
