Create a user

You must be an End Users Manager to create users.
If the "Enterprise Features" setting is enabled in the General Settings of an enterprise organization, the
BlackBerry AtHoc
 system enforces user uniqueness in the enterprise organization and its suborganizations. Users created in the enterprise organization or in any of its suborganizations must have a unique username and Mapping ID.
If the "Enterprise Features" setting is enabled in the General Settings of a super enterprise organization, the
BlackBerry AtHoc
 system enforces user uniqueness in the super enterprise, sub enterprise organizations, and their suborganizations. Users created in the super enterprise organization, or in any of its sub enterprises or suborganizations must have a unique username and Mapping ID.
