# Users

## Creating users

To create a **User** that will only have access to a certain account or a selection of several accounts, use the following procedure to create a user with special account level permissions:

1. Go to '*User management*' under the administration dropdown located at the top right of the screen and select the '*Users*' tab
2. Click "c*reate user*" and provide a login name in the '*Username*' field, a valid '*E-mail*' address, and a '*Password*' of at least 8 characters
3. From the '*Group*' dropdown box, select the '*Group*' you want to associate to this users
4. Next, click the '*Account Access*' tab, and select the '*Access Type*' for this user:
   * **Grant access to all accounts** - *to provide access to any of the available accounts in the system*
   * **Grant access to only specific accounts** - *to only provide access to usage and charge data of specific accounts*
5. If you've selected **Grant access to only specific accounts**, then select from the *Account Access* list, each *Account Name* where this user should have access for. You may select a top level account, or an account further down in the hierarchy. Account inheritance is applicable, meaning lower level accounts are automatically included when selecting a top level account. If there are multiple **reports,** select the corresponding **report** from the drop down list first, before selecting any accounts.
6. When all fields have been filled in, you may create the user by clicking the '*Save*' button.
