Using the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Add User preset

The Cisco Prime Infrastructure Add User preset creates a user.

You will need to supply the name and password of the new user, as well as the User Groups and Virtual Domains the user is a member of. Enable Wireless User so that the user will only see wireless-specific navigation menu items. This option is not supported for root, Lobby Ambassador, and mDNS Policy Admin users.
