If you start using Office 365 Cloud Business productivity solution plans, you need to set up accounts for your team members as well. As you are the admin, only you have privilege to do so. You’ll need to create user names and email addresses for them.
After you have added users to your service and assigned them a suite license, each user has the following items:
- An Office 365 mailbox that users can access from their Outlook desktop app or Outlook Web App.
- Access to the Downloads page to download Office desktop apps, and to set up and configure their PCs to work with Office 365.

3. On the Users page, click New, and then click User to start the New User wizard.
4. Complete the information on the Properties page.

An administrator has access to the Admin Overview page, enabling them to create new user accounts, manage subscriptions, and modify service settings.
