  2. Once these accounts are created – send an email with login credentials to the Meriplex employee you just created.

Creating Meriplex M365 accounts

Go to O365 Admin Portal

NOTE: When I create new accounts, I search for other Meriplex team members on my glue spreadsheet with the same level of access and search Admin Portal for the similar account and the screen shot how the account looks and is setup.

Example:

  1. Click on Add User:

NOTE: Check the Automatically create a password option. Then copy the generated password and email it to the newly created user.
  1. Refer to the My glue worksheet to see an example:

  1. Fill in the First – Last name.
  2. Then in Display Name add First, last name Admin (Meriplex).
  3. Then in Username you will copy from the sheet under the M365 Username column.

  1. For the Username use the 12-digit username provided by Meriplex, then change the domain name to avitapharmacy.com.
  2. Use the system generated password created previously in Step 1.
  3. Then fill in the customer email so they get these credentials sent to them.
