Step 7. *** Create the DSpace admin user ***

If you get a "build successful" message from the previous step, then add an admin user for your DSpace installation as follows:

Fill in all the details when prompted and keep the credentials a secret. See example activation below.

*** Do not let any unauthorised persons have access to your DSpace admin account. ***

*** WARNING: Your admin password is displayed on the screen. Be careful! ***
