Creating a User (Local)

In this guide you will learn how to create a Local User; both Administrator and Standard level accounts.

Before We Begin...
You must know the difference between a Local and Domain User:
 * A Local User, if it's an Admin level account this could also be referred to as Local Admin, is the Admin or Standard account on the computer. As a Local Admin you would have Admin rights over everything on the computer itself. Anything shares hosted on your computer you have Admin rights to, but that account only has Admin rights over that computer. Nothing else.
 * A Domain User, Admin accounts would be called Domain Admins, is a Standard or Admin level account on the Network as a whole. This means that a Domain Admin/User can sign into any computer with appropriate rights to everything on that computer, AS LONG AS that computer is attached to the domain and on the network. If the computer isn't attached to the network or not on the domain, this Account will not work. You won't even be able to log in because the computer has no where to pull the account settings from.

Now, let's move onto creating a Local User account:
Note: You will not be able to set a password for the account in this process. Once you have created the account and been returned to the Account Management page, there will be an option for you to create the password for the account.
 * 1) Get connected to the device the account is needed on
 * 2) If you're doing this remotely, make sure you have the customers permission
 * 3) If you need help, please read our guide on Connecting Remotely
 * 4) Open the Start Menu
 * 5) Click on 'Control Panel'
 * 6) For Windows 8 and 8.1 Users: if you open the Start Menu and type in the words 'Control Panel' it will bring up a list of things it found matching those terms. Among those will be an entry titled 'Control Panel'. Click on it to open it
 * 7) Click on the link that says 'User Accounts'
 * 8) Some Operating Systems may simply say 'Users'
 * 9) Click on the 'Manage User Accounts' link
 * 10) This may say 'Manage Another Account'
 * 11) This will either bring up a small box or move to another screen
 * 12) Click on the 'Add' button or the 'Add another account/user' link
 * 13) Fill in the appropriate information
 * 14) Select the Level of Access for the account
 * 15) This is where the Administrator and Standard come into play. A Standard user will have access to a lot of things, but only an Administrator can make changes to the computer as a whole.
 * 16) Click the 'Finish' button
