How to Add & Edit Users in Your Coupa Account

When a new Coupa account is setup, the user that set up the account will be made the administrator by default. If the administrator would like to add additional users to manage purchase orders and invoices, the administrator can invite the new user to join.

To invite a new user, click on the “Set Up” tab in the blue banner.
