This should open up a dialog box with all the various options you can select for your user. In my example i went with user "test".

Notice it has a tick box for "create primary user group" you may wish to untick this if your adding your user name to a existing user group.

"Create home directory in" For this option you may want to create a folder (dataset) For further information on creating a directory in freenas see:
