  5. Optional: In the Email field, modify the user's email address, if required.
    The email address field automatically populates with the contact's email address. This is the email address that system notifications are sent to, such as account creation emails, and password reset emails. You can choose a different email address, if required.
  6. Do one of the following:
    • For an internal contact, enter the user's domain account login details in the Trusted Username field.
      Note: You must use the following format: Domain\Username.
    • For an external contact, enter a username in the Partner Username field.
  7. Under Licenses, select one or more license types to assign to the user.
