# Add Users
# Create New Users
Overview: Creating users is the primary method to add them to your companies. When a user is invited, the process differs based on whether they are an existing user or a new one:
New User: Will receive a registration link via email, which, upon completion of registration, will not only create their account but also add them to your company.
Preconditions:
- You must be logged into the platform.
- You must have permissions to create users, which can be verified by editing your profile and checking for the appropriate permissions.
Steps to Create a New User:
Select the Appropriate Context:
Navigate to Users from the Side Menu in the context of the company where you want to add the user.
Alternatively, select "Companies" from the Side Menu, choose your desired company, then proceed to invite a user.
Initiate User Invitation:
- Click the Invite User button located on the right top of the Users or Companies page.
- Fill Out the Invitation Form:
- Enter the prospective user's email and define specific permissions for their role.
- User Email Confirmation:
- The invitee will receive an email with a link to confirm the invitation. They must click this link to proceed.
- Account Registration:
- The link directs the invitee to the main page to complete their account setup. The email field is pre-filled from the link and cannot be changed. They must fill up the remaining login data and click the Create Account button.
- Confirmation of Registration:
- After account creation, a confirmation message is displayed. The new user can now access their account either by clicking the Dashboard link or by logging in on the main page.
# Invite Existing Users
You can invite existing or new users who just created their account to any company you have permission to. You can do it similarly, like when creating a new user.
You can check your permissions if you edit your user. Your assigned permissions are shown as check marks.
To invite existing users to your company:
Navigate to Users: Select Users from the Menu in the context of the company where you want to add the user.
Initiate Invitation: Click on the Invite User button located at the top right of the Users page.
Fill Out Invitation Form: Enter the user's email address and assign specific permissions for the user.
- Send and Confirm Invitation: The user will receive an email invitation. They must click the link in the email to proceed with account setup.
- Complete Account Setup: The user follows the link to the main page, fills in their login details, and clicks Create Account. The email used is pre-filled and cannot be changed.
