How do I add users to Microsoft 365?
Users are added through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, where you create accounts and assign licenses to give them access to services.
Users in Microsoft 365 are managed through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Only administrators can create and manage user accounts.
To add a new user:
1. Go to https://admin.microsoft.com
2. Sign in with an administrator account
3. Navigate to “Users” → “Active Users”
4. Click “Add a user”
5. Enter the user’s name and email address
6. Assign a Microsoft 365 license
7. Set or auto-generate a password
8. Save the user and share login credentials
Once a license is assigned, the user will gain access to the services included in your subscription, such as email, Teams, and Office applications.
Licenses can be reassigned if an employee leaves the company, allowing you to reuse subscriptions without purchasing new ones.
For larger organizations, user management can also be automated through directory synchronization tools such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD).
