There are two methods of creating and editing users.
Option - Import a File
You can import a user file to add new users or to update or replace existing users. This process is commonly done for additions or changes that involve multiple users as described in Import and Export Data.
Option - Enter Details Directly
You can enter user details for a new user or edit the details of an existing user directly within the system.
From Setup > Users, search to find the user(s) you want to edit, or click the down arrow next to the Search button, and click show all results. Select the user(s) you want to edit. If you want to create a user, this step is unnecessary.
