Add User Accounts Manually
Tip: The Site Sponsor is granted external user account management permissions by the SharePoint Administrator. There are several choices that the SharePoint Administrator can make when setting up a Site Sponsor. To understand the various choices and permissions of the Site Sponsor, visit the How-To Articles under Self-Service entitled "Configure Extranet Site Sponsors". Add User Accounts is available if the Site Sponsor has been granted Site Sponsor Permissions to Add Accounts.
By far the most convenient way of adding new users to a site is to use the Invitation process described in the Invite Users by Invitation Email article, however, there may be some exceptional situations where manually adding a new user to the site is necessary. If granted permission to do this, a Site Sponsor can add a new user to the site using the following procedure:
Choose the Manage Accounts menu item from the Settings menu:
On the Managed Sponsored Accounts page, click on the New Account icon in the Ribbon:
Fill out the New Extranet User account form and click Save:
When using this approach to add new users to the site, it will be the Site Sponsors responsibility to manually notify the new user of their new account, password, recovery question and URL to the site. The option on the form to Send a Welcome Message does not automatically send all of this information to the new user.
