Click on New Users…..
Clicking on New User will open the following window where you need to enter all the required details, e.g., Username, Password, etc.
Make sure you remove the Tick mark from “User must change the password at next Logon”
Then put the Tick marks next to “User cannot change password” and “Password never expires”
Then click on create and then close.
Now you are back to the Computer Management Window showing you the new user account. (In this case Test2 is highlighted)

Click on Groups on the left hand side of the window. This will show you all the listed/available groups to which the newly created account can be added.
