Hi @vignesh.ramesh,

You can add additional sign up fields to the Universal Login form ([example](https://community.auth0.com/t/customize-universal-login-lock-with-additionalsignupfields/35905/6)) so that end-users can provide this info when they sign up, but you can’t add fields to the form used to manually create users.

You can either edit the name field from the dashboard after creating the user:

 ![edit-name](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/1/3/13988139ef3e6c03b328c12a91a69ecf7355b780.png)

Or you can use the [Management API](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/post_users) to create users with the name property using the `/users/post_users` endpoint.

In order to test out the Management API, you will need to set an API token in the top left corner of the Management API docs

 ![set-token](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/3/7/373b197f6ee8b9c04bca15cb3f018e3e75c7c819.png)

You can get the token from your Auth0 dashboard by going to **APIs** , clicking on “Auth0 Management API” and then going to the API Explorer tab. Copy the token.

 ![api-explorer](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/1/a/1aecc9793930e0e038508f48d9fc2b9260ab833d.png)

Once the API Token is set, you can try out the create users endpoint.

[Create Users Endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/post_users)

Example payload:

```auto
{
  "email": "john.doe@gmail.com",
  "user_metadata": {},
  "blocked": false,
  "email_verified": false,
  "app_metadata": {},
  "given_name": "John",
  "family_name": "Doe",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "nickname": "Johnny",
  "connection": "Username-Password-Authentication",
  "password": "secretpassword123!@#",
  "verify_email": false
}

```
