Wordpress generates a unique, strong password. Save the generated password, or create a strong password of your choice.
Save the password - you will not be able to see your password again on this dashboard. You will only be able to change your password from this dashboard.

Select the most appropriate role for the new user.
Shop Manager let's the user upload and manage products and orders - only areas related to WooCommerce.
Customer is what your users will be allocated when they register or make a purchase on your site. You wouldn't typically create a user manually with this role.
Editor let's the user publish and manage post content, like blog articles.
Administrator gives the user full access to the backend of your site. \
Web developers will need Administrator access on your site to make backend or frontend changes.
