Add Users

Users with the Administrator role can add new users using the MiSeq i100 Series Control Software. Cloud users are automatically created when they first sign into the instrument using their BaseSpace Sequence Hub credentials. After a BaseSpace Sequence Hub user is created, a user is created in the MiSeq i100 Series Control Software automatically and their access can be configured manually.
