# Managing User Permissions

## Overview

The Users overview page is an individual tab ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp). Here you can view the list of all users, add new users, manage permissions and delete accounts.

![](/files/rZFMnBvySubTKoVOazvb)

You can search for a specific user by name ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) or filter out users by groups, roles or channels ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS).

The table lists user names ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J), the groups ![](/files/dOZlcoZrhcFshT4JyY3F) each user belongs to, and any individual roles ![](/files/afMFqoHYxlD3P4x4s54e) assigned.

> Any roles a group assigns to the user are not visible from this list.
>
> If a user is part of the **Administrator** group, they have all roles and access to every channel.

There are individual columns indicating which channels the user is allowed to use ![](/files/heY1jGf0d6KIgQt5tmq5) and date and time the user was last active ![](/files/OafifViaQkQ4QbI1JAeE).

To modify an existing user account, click the **pencil icon** ![](/files/XtZWDMJkCYzCx31NsA5Z).

To delete a user, click on the corresponding **'x' icon** ![](/files/1XqRxMUifYik4JMWyopV). You can also select one or multiple users using checkboxes ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) and delete them by clicking the 'Delete selected user' button ![](/files/vnDHuLlQwAzDEixxumZT)

## Creating a new user

To add a new user, click **Add a User** ![](/files/QuCuzIH0LgT2TFU0dgLy).

On the next page, set the username and password.

![](/files/TaaW5X2wnTenSGd9l4FO)

Below this part, you can add groups, roles and channels to the new user. Each new user needs to have at least one group or role and one channel available.

![](/files/Fgvn6qKGJcEqSwGxrxRm)

You can also set a default language for the user and enable Single Sign-On.

Depending on prior knowledge, **inactive modules can be hidden**. If **advanced mode is disabled**, the user will be unable to access pages which require a deeper understanding of FactFinder.
