Add New Users to the System

This page details how to manually add users to the LegalHold system.

People vs. Users

People are added to the LegalHold application with the intention of adding them as recipients or attachments to a hold. People that are added to the Manage People module can be manually added or uploaded via a Comma-separated Values (CSV) upload process.
