In this post you are going to get an idea about how to add new users in D365 Business Central step by step. Below is the full end-to-end process, which you can use for new user creation:

I’ll structure it in 4 layers:

1. Create user in Microsoft 365 Admin Center

2. Assign Business Central license

3. Create & configure user in Business Central

4. Assign relative permission for user in Business Central

Step 1 — Login to Admin Center

• Go to https://admin.microsoft.com

• You can only login with Global Admin / User Admin

Step 2 — Create New User

• Go to Users → Active users

• Click Add a user

Fill:

Field	Value
First name	Agrimaa
Last name	Shukla
Username	Agrimaa
Domain	company.com

Click Next

Step 3 — Assign License

1. Select Location

2. Enable Dynamics 365 Business Central license

3. (Optional) Enable Office apps if needed

Click Next

Step 4 — Set Role & Finish

• Assign Admin role if required (normally None)

• Add Profile details of that user

• Click Finish

User is now created in Azure AD, and now you can share details with end user for login.

Create User in Business Central

Step 1 — Open Business Central

1. Go to https://businesscentral.dynamics.com

2. Login as BC Admin or with SUPER permission

Step 2 — Open Users Page

1. Search 🔍 → Users

2. Click on Update Users from Microsoft 365

Step 3 — Assign Permissions

1. Add permissions set for newly added users

🔹 Common Issues

Issue	Cause	Solution
User not visible in BC	License not assigned	Assign BC license
Login fails	User disabled	Enable user
No access	No permissions	Add permission sets
Wrong homepage	No profile	Set role center

🟢 Best Practices

• Always create users in Admin Center first

• Never give SUPER by default

• Use Security Groups for large organization

• Document role-to-permission mapping
