# 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:

![User creation menu](/files/-MeUiLAIdnrY-GQtaC9c)

1. &#x20;Go to **Administration** > **User management** > **Users**&#x20;
2. &#x20;Click **Create user** and provide a login name in the *Username* field, a valid *E-mail* address, and a *Password* of at least 8 characters
3. &#x20;From the **Group** dropdown list, select the *Group* you want to associate to this user
4. &#x20;Next, in the **Account Visibility** tab, select the *Visibility Type* for this user:
   * **Show all accounts** - *to provide access to any of the available accounts in the system*
   * **Show only specific accounts** - *to only provide access to usage and charge data of specific accounts*
5. &#x20;If you've selected **Show only specific accounts**, then select from the **Visible accounts** dropdown list, each *Account Name* where this user should have access. 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, create the user by clicking the **Save** button.
