Converting a Directory contact to a User

If a contact associated to your organisation joins it, you can convert the contact into a user. The conversion process lifts all contact information about the individual and pre-populates it onto the create a user page. Once the process is complete the contact will be set up with a user account. The original contact entry in the directory will not be deleted.
