Add a User
Create user accounts for team members who need access to Zeltask. Each user gets their own login credentials and permission level based on their role in the organization.
Before You Start
- You need Admin or Manager permissions to create users
- Have the user's email address ready (this will be their login)
Accessing the Users Module
- Click Users & Teams in the sidebar
- The Users view loads by default
