You can add new users to your IBM NS1 Connect account and grant them the necessary permissions to manage different aspects of your organization's DNS resources and configurations.
To view and manage users, click your username in the upper right corner of the portal and go to Settings > Users & teams from the dropdown.
The Users tab provides a list of all account users.

Optionally, enable the "Notify this user about billing events" option to allow this user to receive account overage alerts and other billing-related notifications.
