Adding a User

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

By default, all user logins created are named users and count towards your number of licensed users. Mobile users do not have access to the browser (only the TH6 Mobile app) and are not restricted. You can add unlimited Mobile Only users. See About Users and ToolHound Glossary for more information.
