[Setup Step 2]: Creating / Synching users
This KB article will be for creating user accounts after the domain has been created [Setup Step 1]. If SMTP Discovery is not being used then users will need to be created before they can receive/send emails.
SMTP Discovery – Sentinel Messaging will accept emails addressed to your domain until the email address is marked as invalid. Any email that is scored below the spam threshold will be delivered to the mail server. That email address will then be added to the discovered list. For detail procedure please click SMTP Discovery
The steps to start importing users are as follows:
While logged into the user interface, navigate to Company Settings > Import users tab
Note: If you do not wish for users to receive a Welcome email you should navigate to Notifications > Send Welcome Email (Off)
There are three options to import users:

- CSV – A csv file will be used to import users
