Creating a new email account in Office 365 is simple. Just follow these steps:
- Log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- From the left menu, go to Users → Active Users.
- Click on “Add a user.”
- Enter the user’s details:
- Name: Fill in the first name, last name, display name, and username.
- Domain: Choose the domain the user will use. For example, if the username is Andy and the domain is techsparkitsolutions.com, the email address will be [email protected].
- Contact Info (optional): Add details like phone number, address, etc.
- Set the password:
- You can use the auto-generated password or create a custom strong password.
- By default, passwords expire after 90 days. You can also require the user to change their password on their first login.
- Assign roles (if needed):
- If this person should be an admin, expand the Roles section and select the appropriate role.
- Assign a license:
- Expand the Product Licenses section and select the license you want to assign (e.g., Microsoft 365 Business Standard).
- If you don’t have any licenses left, you can still create the account and purchase additional licenses later.
- Click Add.
✅ The new Office 365 email account is now created, and the user can log in with their new credentials.
