Bugzilla: Create an account for a new user

Note: You must login using Bugzilla administrator or have the “editusers” permission to add a new user account.

Steps

• Login to your Bugzilla

• Click the Administration link in the header or footer

• Click the Users link

• Click the “add a new user” link

• Enter the “Login name” which must be an email address – required
• Enter the “Real name” – required
• Enter the “Password” which must be at least 6 characters. If the complexity requirements are set (see User Authentication in Administration Parameters) then these must be met as well – required.
• Leave “Bugmail Disabled” unchecked.
• Leave “Disable text” blank.
• Click the “Add” button

• The user has now been created. Note that the user has not been notified of their new account. You will need to do this yourself.
• You are now presented with a screen that allows you to change the user’s access. In most cases you can ignore these settings as the defaults work well. For more details about Bugzilla security see: Setting up Bugzilla Security.

• Click the “back to the user list” link
