Newly created accounts will be automatically assigned access to the level that they are created at.
Several options will now be available:

Assign Access?
Selecting Yes will assign access at the same time and will also expand the next section.
Access can be assigned to all OU’s by clicking the Select All button, or individual OU’s can be selected from the menu.
Selecting No will not give the new account any access rights. The account will not be able to log in as it has no access to an OU. Access can be assigned at a later time in this case.

SSO Only
This will hide the Password fields and allow the new user to only login using Microsoft SSO. Note that your MS365 Administrator will need to allow access to the enterprise application on your tenancy before this will work.
Generate Password
This option will send a one time password to the user’s email address. The user will be asked to set a new password upon first successful login.
Set Password
This option will allow you to manually set a password for the new account.
Password Reset on Login
Selecting Yes will force the user to change their password on first login.
Fill out the details as desired and click Save to confirm. You will now see the new supervisor account in the list.
A supervisor can also change their own password by clicking on the User button in the top right and selecting Change Password.
