Unless you have disabled new user registrations in Security and Privacy Settings, users can create their own accounts in the helpdesk front-end.

If you'd like, you can create a new member account in the ACP. To manually add a new member account, head over to the "Management" section of the ACP. In the grey sidebar menu, under Member Control, click on Add A New Member.

You will be greeted with the Add A New Member screen. Let's take a look:
