•	select the Create New User... item from the popup menu

•	open the database in Database Editor and the Users tab there;

•	press the Insert key or select the Create New User... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

To create a new database user with the same properties as one of the existing users has:
