- Click Next, and then Finish.

CREATE USER
- In the LiveCycle Admin UI, navigate to Settings->User Management->Users and Groups
- Click 'New User' and create a new user. First and Last Names as well as userID and password are required.
- There is no requirement to assign the user to any group, it is entirely optional
- Click 'Find Roles' and check the box for the custom role you previously created and click OK
- Click Finish.
