How to create a user in Newsflow

** Updated Newsflow Account Creation: 17 DEC 19

Loupe has been set up to allow for automatic account setup for newsflow and will now be managed by the Service Desk. The process for user setup in Newsflow is listed below.

Setup:

1. New User for Newsflow will need to have the Loupe entailment added to their account
2. Once the Loupe entitlement has been granted the Newsflow account login will match domain account logins. 
3. Once created, you can manage the users roles by choosing the entitlement config option, under the gear button in loop.
