Diagnosis

Environment

Check the browser extensions. Disable extensions temporarily or use incognito mode. The Automatic Password Filling and Ad Blocking extensions have been known to interfere with the Java script on the Create User page.

Workarounds

  • Temporarily disable the Automatic Password Filling or Ad Blocking Extension
  • Use an Alternative Browser that does not have these extensions
  • Use an "InPrivate" or "Incognito Mode" (if available)
