How do I create a SharePoint user?

The following article explains how to create a SharePoint user. Before a SharePoint user can be created, a domain must be added for the customers domain name. When creating the SharePoint user, you will need to know the email address, password, first name, last name, and display name.

Please note, if an Exchange mailbox has already been created for the user, a SharePoint user was created by default at that time. You do not need to create the SharePoint user again.

To create a SharePoint user, please follow these steps:

1. Open a browser window and go to www.HostMySite.com
2. Click on Control Panel Login.
3. Log into the Control Panel as the Account Administrator and select the appropriate domain.
4. Click Hosted Exchange & SharePoint.
5. Find the domain name and click Manage.
6. Click SharePoint.
7. Enter the requested information:
   • Email Address: enter the full email address for the user
   • Password: enter a valid password
   • Confirm Password: re-enter the password
   • Is this user an administrator?: select if the user is an administrator for the Exchange
   
8. Enter the users information:
   • First Name: the users first name
   • Last Name: the users last name
   • Display Name: a display name for the user
   
9. Click Add.
