Overview
When you create a new user as a site administrator either by "Adding new user" or "Bulk Upload" or if you are using an external CSV data sync, you are able to customise the default welcome email which provides the user with their password and instructions on how to access the platform. It is important to keep this information clear and concise so the recipient trusts the email and is able to find the information they require.
