  2. Select Users - Roles or Users - Tasks or Users - Teams view in the User Manager window and click . The Create Multiple Users dialog box appears.

    • User Name - Unique name of the user.
    • User Full Name - Description or the Full name of the User.
    • User ID - The operating system identity of the User. This acts as a unique user identifier which is used to log into Process Platform environment. If the User ID of an organizational user being created already exists, you can map it to the existing authenticated user.
