Can I add an author to my conference paper submission that does not have an account?

Yes! You can add an author to your SSRN submission.

If you need to add an author to your SSRN submission but you did not find the author by searching for them by name or email address on the submission form, you will have the opportunity to create the author's SSRN account in order to add them to the submission.

It is important to enter the author's name, email address (if available), and affiliation correctly so that they will have access to their account, will receive any relevant SSRN notifications, and will be properly credited on SSRN.
