After importing groups from Crowd or LDAP, the users will be created in the User Setup section and the users created by Crowd or LDAP are read-only. You cannot modify them but you can assign roles to the users created from the imported group.

Add a new user

1. Go to Administration > User Setup.

2. Click the plus button at the top right of the page.

Role		Roles grant permissions to access specific areas of Zephyr Enterprise and to perform specific tasks. Each user can have one or more roles. Zephyr Enterprise has built-in roles, and you an also create custom roles in the Administration > System Setup > Customizations section. The default roles are: Manager - Only 1 per department, essentially a manager/administrator Lead - Can have multiple leads per department, responsible for entire projects/releases Tester - Can have multiple testers per department, assigned to projects Defect User - Can have multiple defect users per department, users are able to view and utilize the defect tracking app Dashboard - Can have multiple dashboard users. Users only have access to the dashboards and these users do not count towards the total license count. These users can create and view dashboards within Zephyr Project Admin - Can have multiple project admins. They can assign users and groups to a project and change project settings. Cannot create or delete projects. Users can have multiple roles assigned to them (Administration Apps, Project Apps, Global Repository Apps). If you want to assign multiple roles to bulk users, you can add new roles or you can override any existing roles and replace the new role.

Profile image		Image can be PNG, GIF, or JPG. File size must be less than 2 MB.
Customize username		The default username for a new user is firstname.lastname.

Default password for new users

The default password for new users is the same as their username. The username itself is in the firstname.lastname format unless the user was created with a custom username.

If the Expire Credentials option was selected when creating the user, this user will be prompted to change the password upon first login. Otherwise the user can change their password at any time later.
