# Creating and Managing Users
The User Creation process is designed to get your team started quickly while ensuring they only have access to the projects relevant to their work. This controlled approach maintains security while enabling efficient collaboration.
**Adding a New User**
Follow these steps to create a new user account:
* Click **Add User**, then enter the required user details.
* Fill in the following fields:
* Full Name: The user's legal name for identification and display throughout the platform.
* Email & Username: Primary credentials used for system notifications, login authentication, and team communication.
* Role: The assigned privilege level (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer) that determines their capabilities and access rights within Walnut.
* Project Access: Specific project environments the user is authorized to view, edit, or manage.
* **Assign a Role:** Choose the appropriate permission template from the dropdown menu. Select a role that matches the user's responsibilities within your organization.
* **Grant Project Access:** Select the specific projects the user should be able to view or edit. Users will only see projects they've been granted access to, keeping their workspace focused and organized.
* **Finalize Account Creation:** Click Create User to complete the process. An automated email will be sent to the user's email address, providing instructions to securely set up their account credentials.
**Managing Existing Users**
**User Directory:** All existing users are listed in the User Directory section, providing a complete view of your organization's accounts. You can search, filter, and review user details from this centralized location.
**Updating User Profiles:** To modify user details, select an existing user from the directory list. You can edit their role assignment, contact information, or project access levels. Click Save to apply changes instantly. Updated permissions take effect immediately, ensuring users always have appropriate access.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.walnutai.ai/getting-started/user-management/creating-and-managing-users.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
