A first pass at describing this task, please let me know if I need to change anything. I added the user-new-role task as a prerequisite, so that the user can select the Vendor role for the new account. Is this OK this way?

Hm. In the flow of the guide, we have Adding a new user (this topic), and then later on, Creating a Role and then Changing a User's Roles. But I think this makes more sense.

So I'll change the order of the guide.

The topic looks good!

Two small things to address:

a) Can you change the image to png instead of jpg?
b) Use "" ASCII quotes and not “ smart quotes, especially in the [image] tags.

Thank you! I updated the txt file (I hope I fixed them all), and changed the image to a png.

Thanks for cleaning up the smart quotes and fixing the image type @diana.lakatos. And of course for writing this in the first place. I've done another read through and agree the copy looks great. I've added this to the guide and it will be available the next time the guide is rebuilt.
