# Create a user

Create an individual user for a named employee. Create a facility login only when a shared location-specific login is part of the approved operating model.

## Create the account

1. Open the **Company App**.
2. Go to `Users`.
3. Click the create button.
4. Turn on `Facility login` only when creating a facility account.
5. Enter the user's first and last name.
6. Enter the `Employee ID` when one is available.
7. Enter the email address used for password recovery.
8. Enter the phone number when required.
9. Click `Create User`.

Company opens the user confirmation page after the account is created.

## Complete quick setup

Use quick setup when the user's access follows an established role:

1. Continue to `Quick setup`.
2. Select the applicable Security Group.
3. Select the Product Stores the user can access.
4. Select the facilities associated with the user.
5. Review the setup summary.
6. Finish setup.

## Complete manual setup

Use manual setup when the role requires individual review:

1. Open the new user's details.
2. Add the approved Security Groups.
3. Add Product Store access.
4. Add facilities.
5. Configure picker access or other user-specific options when required.
6. Review the account before sharing sign-in instructions.

Never assign a broad administrator group only to make a missing page appear. Use [Manage Security Groups and App Permissions](/documents/system-admins/administration/company/users/manage-user-permission.md) to identify the required 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.hotwax.co/documents/system-admins/administration/company/users/create-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
