The WSO2 Identity Server allows you to add new users to the system, specify their passwords, and assign roles for them. Read more in Users and Roles.
Follow the instructions below to add a new user account and configure its role in WSO2 Identity Server.

2. Click the "Configure" button to access the "Configure" menu.
3. In the "Configure" menu of "Identity Server Management Console," click on "Users and Roles" to access the "User Management" page.
4. Then click on the "Users" link.
