# Creating and Updating a User

## Creating a user 

Users are automatically created in AccessNow through Single Sign-On (SSO) integration. However, it is also possible to create users beforehand, such as for configuring the system.

To add a user to AccessNow go to the **Users** **module:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click **+Add User button**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter the user details&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Leave the password blank for the SSO users

SSO users will automatically appear in AccessNow without the need for manual creation.&#x20;

If you prefer to create them in AccessNow in advance, leave the password field blank.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not enter password for the SSO users!**
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click Save

The new users account is created. The user receives an email notification about the account creation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Updating User Details

1. Go to the **Users** module.
2. Select the specific user record you want to edit.
3. Modify the user details as needed.
4. Save the changes to update the user information.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not enter password for the SSO users!**
{% endhint %}
