Adding Users
Prior to Adding a User
Prior to adding a user, there must be an existing administrator that has been created in Zephyr Enterprise. The administrator/system user must be logged in and be under the User Setup section within the administration section.
Scenario: You are a testing manager that just that has a role of a 'manager' in Zephyr Enterprise. As a testing manager, you want to add a brand new test lead as a user in the system.
If this is your first time managing users, you might want to work with a test user rather than an actual user in the system, and that way, you can work out any issues you might have with managing users before you work with live users.

button at the top right of the interface.

- First Name - The first name of the user.
