Only existing users with sysop user rights (see User List) can create new users. Here are the steps:

  1. Log in with your sysop-capable username
  2. Goto Create Account
  3. Type in a Username and Password for this person.
  4. Click "Create Account"
  5. Now you are signed in as that person, log out at the top right of the page.
  6. Tell that person their username and password (they can change their password if they want later)

If you need to grant sysop priveledges to a new user (not recommended for students), you will need to have Bureaucrat priveledges (see User List). Do the following:

  1. Log in with your Bureaucrat-capable username
  2. Goto User Rights
  3. Type in the username of the user.
  4. In the "Available Groups" list, highlight "sysop"
  5. Click "Save Groups"

done!
