  • 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
