Click on the "App launcher" icon
at the upper left of the main panel.
- Select "Admin".
Step 2: Add a User
- Click on "Add a user".
- Fill in new user details.
3. Assign the user a product license then click Next. Review the optional settings then hit Next.
4. Review the details and then click Finish adding to create the user.
Step 3. Add the User to the Environment and Assign a Dynamics role

On the selected environment, click See all for the Users in Access section.
Then on the Users page, click Add user.

The Manage security roles pane will open. The Manage security roles panel is also accessible at the header of the Users page once the button beside the user’s name is ticked and at the user details pane once the name of the user is clicked.
