The [Type] field is populated with the value selected when adding the new record and remains uneditable before you save the record. After you save the record and reopen the new user page, you will be able to edit the type.

3.On the displayed page, fill in the required fields:

[Contact] – the contact for whom the user is created;

[Username] – the username to log in to the system;
