The Users page will open. Near the top right corner of the page, find the User Actions button. Click on it, which opens a context menu.

In the context menu, select Add a new user. A panel will open on the right side of your screen, which is where you will enter the new user's information:

Click again on the User Actions button. In the context menu, select “Queue welcome email”.
