Adding users and sending email messages

To work with Kaspersky Next, you must add users (company employees) to Kaspersky Next Management Console. Users will be able to independently install security applications on their devices and connect their Windows devices, Mac devices, and mobile devices to Kaspersky Next. Kaspersky Next identifies users by their email addresses.

To add users to Kaspersky Next Management Console and send them email messages:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Users section.

   The Users section contains a list of users and groups of users that have been added to Kaspersky Next.

   At the beginning, the list displays the single user that has created the workspace.

   An instance of Kaspersky Next created for a specific company. When you create a workspace, Kaspersky creates and configures the infrastructure behind this workspace. You use Kaspersky Next Management Console to manage your workspace and the security applications installed on the devices of the company.

3. Click the Add users button above the list of users.

   The Add users wizard starts. Proceed through the wizard by using the Next button.

4. At the Enter email addresses step of the wizard, in the entry field, add the email addresses of users.

   You can enter addresses manually, or copy and paste a list of addresses from a text file. Each email address must be typed on a new line or must be separated by a comma (,), a semicolon (;), or a space ( ).

   You can add no more than 999 email addresses of users. If your license permits it, you can add no more than 3000 email addresses of users.

5. At the Check data step of the wizard, verify the data you have entered. The User alias column shows the name of a user mailbox by default.

   If necessary, correct the user email addresses and aliases.

6. At the Send instructions step of the wizard, decide whether you want to send the new users email messages with the instructions for installing a security application on their devices.

   By using a received email message, the user can connect any number of devices running Windows or macOS, but only a single mobile device running Android, iOS, or iPadOS. If the user needs to connect multiple mobile devices, send the user multiple messages based on the number of devices.

   For example, you may want to skip sending instructions when you add administrators who will help you manage users' devices.

7. Click the Finish button to close the wizard.
8. If you proceed through the wizard for the first five times and if you have selected to send instructions, Management Console displays a message with the information about your further actions. Click the OK button to close the message.

   Later, this message will no longer be displayed.

The specified user accounts are added to Kaspersky Next.

If you have selected to send instructions, Kaspersky Next sends users an email message with the instructions for installing security applications on their devices and a link to the security application.

Later, you can send users an email message with instructions at any time by clicking the Send instructions button above the list of users.
