  4. Enter the first and last names, email address and NetID and press ‘Create’ (if the user does not have a NetID, see "Adding a New External User" instructions in the next section)
  5. After adding a new user, you should add their payment sources. See "Adding a User to a ChartString"

Add Approved Users to the instrument Access List
Instruments may require a user to be approved before they can purchase time on the instrument. Any users not already in the CORUM system will need to be added by the Facility Administrator or a Global Account Manager. All users must have an approved payment source to place orders and reservations using CORUM. Note: An easier way to grant access to multiple instruments is available from the "Access List" section on the individual User page.
