In DAP, to add a new a user to your site on the backend, you must give the user access to some product – any product.
What that means is, that you can’t create stand-alone new users who have access to no products.
So, to add a new user…
1) Go to “Users > Add”.
2) In the “Add New User” section of the page, select a Product. Enter first name, last name (optional) and email address .
3) “Mark as Paid” checkbox: If you do not check the “Mark as Paid” box, then the user is added as a “Free” user by default. Which means she won’t have access to any content within that Product that you have marked as “Paid”. So if you want user to be a “Free” user (with access to only free content, and no access to any of the paid content), then leave the check box alone. If you want the user to be a “Paid” user with access to “Paid” content – as if this user actually paid you and joined your membership site – then check this checkbox.
4) Click “Add User To Product” button.
That’s it.
PS: You can also mark a user as “Paid” from the “Users > Manage” screen after you’ve searched for them by email or last name.

Is there a way to add all users to a product? Or to multiple products?

Joe,
>>Is there a way to add all users to a product?< <
Yes, there is. On the Users > Manage product, do a search, and then click on the “Select All” check box, select all users, then select the product you wish to add them to, and click on “Add”.
>>Or to multiple products?<<
You can select multiple users, but cannot add them to multiple products in one shot. You will have to add the users to one product at a time.
