# Creating and Managing Users

Most users are provisioned automatically through SSO or integrations. However, you can manually create users, ideal for platform admins, testers, or small-scale deployments. You can also edit and manage user records as needed directly from the Console.

***

## Creating a User Manually

1. Navigate to **Configuration > Users**
2. Click **+ New User**
3. Fill out the required fields (see below)
4. (Optional) Assign teams and attributes
5. Click **Create User**

## User Properties

Each user record contains the following properties:

- **Username**:  
  A unique identifier for the user. Often matches the login or SSO ID. Required.

- **Email Address**:  
  Used for platform notifications like password resets and workflow alerts.

- **Display Name**:  
  A human-readable name shown throughout the UI—for example, in approval assignments or submission logs.

- **Enabled**:  
  Controls whether the user can authenticate and access the platform.

- **Space Admin**:  
  Grants full administrative access across the Space. Space Admins bypass security definitions and gain access to all forms, submissions, and configuration tools.

- **Allowed IP Addresses**:  
  Optional security restriction. Enter a comma-separated list of IPs the user is allowed to log in from.  
  → Use `*` to allow access from any IP address (default).

- **Preferred Locale**:  
  Sets the user’s language and regional format. If not specified, the user inherits the Space’s default locale.

## Editing Users

To update a user:

1. Navigate to **Configuration > Users**Select a user from the list
2. Edit their name, email, team membership, or attributes
3. Click **Update User**

> ⚠️ In SSO-enabled environments, profile details may be overwritten on next login unless explicitly mapped or excluded from sync.

***

## Deleting Users

You can delete users, but be cautious:

- Make sure the user is not actively assigned in workflows
- Deletion is permanent and should be avoided for audit-critical users

> Best practice: Disable the user instead of deleting if you're unsure of downstream impact.
