In Crowd, users are referred to as principal entity objects (or just principals).
Principals can either be imported into Crowd in bulk (see 2.4 Importing Principals and Groups into a Directory), or added individually as follows.
To add a principal,
- Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
- This will display the Principal Browser. Click the 'Add Principal' link.
- Select the directory in which to create the new principal.
- Complete the fields as described in the table below, then click the 'Create' button.
- After creating the principal, you will be able to specify the principal's attributes and group/role membership.
