Create user

Note: An administrator with login data from the PTV Map&Guide internet shop is automatically created in the list of users. This administrator, which has been created by the system, cannot be deleted. The administrator can use the login details (email address and password for the shop) to launch the administration tool and PTV Map&Guide internet. If the email address or password is changed in the shop, the changes are automatically transferred to the administration tool. The created administrator is activated by default for the use of PTV Map&Guide internet and uses one licence. You can release this licence by changing the status to inactive (see Change status or group).
