Creating a user is the most common primary task for any user journey. The bxp software (bxp) billing model is based on live users.
== Overview ==
There are a number of approaches to creating users but when just beginning with the system there is a logic progression.
The first job is to create a template user from which you can easily create other users.
With the template user in place you can mass upload users from an Excel spreadsheet or use the "copy user" function.
However we must begin with a single user.

There is a big separation within bxp between function and content. Read more here [[Function_Vs._Content]]
To add a user ''Main Menu > System Access Management [[File:016.png]] > User Administration > Add User - Security Details Only''
When creating the user there are two major segments to page. The top half of the page is primary security details for the user. The second half is the modules and sectional groups which can be accessed.

==== Block 1 - System Details ====

Every user in the bxp system must have a unique name. The firstname and surname of every user must be unique. The title and middle initial are optional for clarity purposes.
The password can be set to anything, as the user will be asked to change it on their first login. The easiest thing to do is to set the password to simply the word password. Making it as easy as possible to log in should be a primary consideration.
