The System Administrator is responsible for adding all user accounts within the tenant. Once the account is created, the user will need to log in and change the temporary password assigned by the administrator. {% hint style="info" %} Before creating a user, you must first have a Group to assign the user to. To learn more about how Flosum Roles, Groups, and Users function, see the following article. * [Overview of Roles, Groups, and Users](/global-settings/user-management/overview-of-roles-groups-and-users.md) {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} To log in to their account for the first time, the user will need the following: * The **email** address used to create the user. * The temporary **password** for the user. * The **URL** to log in to Flosum Apps for the region where the tenant was set up. The user can follow the instructions in the article below to complete their account registration and set a new password. * [New User First Login](/global-settings/user-management/users/new-user-first-login.md) {% endhint %} ## Create a User {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Access Global Settings 1. From any **Flosum Cloud App**, click the **App Switcher** icon at the top of the left sidebar menu.
2. Click **Global Settings**.
3. The **Global Settings** app will open in a new tab. {% hint style="info" %} Global Settings can also be accessed by logging in directly via the Flosum Cloud Apps Login URL. See the following article for login instructions. * [Log In To Global Settings](/global-settings/getting-started/log-in-to-global-settings.md) {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Create User 1. Click **Users** from the sidebar menu. 2. Click **Create**.
3. Enter the user’s **First Name** and **Last Name**. 4. Enter the user’s **Email** address.

The Email address is used for logging into the Flosum apps by the user. No email is sent to the user once their account is created.

5. Enter a temporary **Password** for the user.

The user will be required to pick a new password when they first log in. All passwords are required to have at least:

6. Click the **Group** dropdown menu. 7. Select the group to which you want to assign the user.
8. Click **Create**.
9. The new user you created now appears in the list of users with a **Status** of **ForcedResetPassword**.

A ForcedResetPassword status indicates that the user must change their password during their first login. Once they have successfully logged in, their status will be updated to Confirmed.

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Provide User Login Credentials To log in to their account for the first time, the user will need the following: * The **email** address used to create the user. * The temporary **password** you created. * The **URL** to log in to Flosum Apps for the region where the tenant was set up. The user can follow the instructions in the article below to complete their account registration and set a new password. * [New User First Login](/global-settings/user-management/users/new-user-first-login.md) {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Check User Account Status After the user has logged in, the **Status** will change from **ForceResetPassword** to **Confirmed**.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.flosum.com/global-settings/user-management/users/creating-a-user.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
