Open Command Shell:

On Windows, open the command shell using Start/Execute/cmd.

Set Up Proxies (Optional):

If behind a corporate firewall, set up proxies by entering the following two lines in the command shell:

set http_proxy=http://coia.hcvpc.io:9400
set https_proxy=http://coia.hcvpc.io:9400

Log into CF:

Enter the following command to log into CF:

cf login -a https://api.cf.eu1.mindsphere.io -sso

Visit https://login.cf.eu1.mindsphere.io/passcode to obtain a One Time Code.

Login using the WebKey Credentials.

Copy the One Time Code and use it in the CF CLI for authentication.

Add User to the Organization:

Once logged in, the admin can add the user to the organization using the following command:

cf set-org-role EMAIL ORG OrgManager

Replace EMAIL with the user's email address.
Replace ORG with the organization's name.
Instead of "OrgManager," other roles can be assigned as needed.
