+The randomly generated password for the new user will be displayed in the ''Random password Set'' window.  This window has three options:
+* Click the ''Copy password'' button to copy generated password to your clipboard.
+  * Clicking the ''Copy message'' button will give you the text " A new TapeTrack User-ID has been created for you to use. You can access this account using the User-ID (Current User) and the password(B@7NpJ%7GR)" copied to your clipboard for convenience when sending a message to the user with login details.
+  * Clicking the ''Email message'' button will open up your default email client with the same text as Copy message.
+Use one of these options to notify the new user of their login details.
+If you want to manually set a password, or are using Active Directory credentials, you can close the ''Random password Set'' window without needing to record the random password.
+If you are manually setting the password, from the main menu select ''Administration'' -> ''Group/User Administration''.
