Adding users to your Workshare account is a simple process performed on the Workshare Admin Console, and you may add them individually or up to 100 at one time using a CSV file. Users are people in your network using one of your Workshare licenses and all users share the same domain name. Note: Any user who is part of your domain will be assigned to your company account even if they sign up for a personal account.

Adding a user “invites” that user to your Workshare account and they receive an email asking them to validate their email address and create a password. Only when the invited user validates their email address are they considered a licensed user on your account.
 
Note: When you're deploying Workshare 9 across your network, you should first add your users to your Workshare account. Users need to be registered with your Workshare account so that they can log in with their email address and password on their first use of Professional, Protect or Compare in order to validate their entitlement to Workshare products and receive their license. If you don't have access to the Admin Console, you can create accounts for your users by following the procedure in No access to Admin Console.

If you have access to the Workshare Admin Console:

To add multiple users:
