      3. Contain at least one special character.

   2. (Optional) Select Reset password after sign-in to prompt the user to reset their password after successfully signing in for the first time.

   3. Enter their First name, Last name, and Email.

   4. Assign a User group to your new user. You can use the generic Default Group or create your own by clicking CREATE GROUP.
