  2. Click Add.
  3. On the Add Users page, configure the user account options shown in the following table, then click Add.

Duplicate account names
Duplicate account names can't exist on the same hosting appliance, even if they reside in different domains (managed by another domain administrator). If you attempt to name a user account with a name that exists in another domain, the message "User accounts must use a unique name" appears, and you'll need to choose a different name.
