A user is anyone who interacts with the system to create, manage, or display content on your screens. You can add as many users as needed to best support your team.

## User roles and permissions

Each user can be assigned as either Standard or Management, depending on the level of access you want to grant.

- **Standard** – can only create and modify content.
- **Management** – has all Standard permissions, plus the ability to update account details and add new users.

## Permission levels

Users can also have more finely tuned access through either the permissions or locations features (depending on your licence):

- **Permissions feature (Advanced Licence required)** – this feature lets you assign detailed, custom permissions for users, controlling exactly which modules, actions, or settings they can access. For full details, see our [permissions article](https://support.fusionsignage.com.au/using-fusion-signage/permissions).
- **Locations feature (Pro Licence required) **– with this feature, you can restrict users’ access to specific locations (e.g. branches, venues). It’s ideal for organisations managing multiple sites. For more details, see the [locations article](https://support.fusionsignage.com.au/using-fusion-signage/how-to-manage-your-locations).

These options give you flexibility – you can either use a standard role plus extra permission rules, or control access by location, depending on what fits your organisation best.

## How to add a user

Any management user can add new users. To do so:

1. Navigate to Settings → Users → Add.
2. Fill in the required information in the pop-up window.
3. The new user will immediately receive a welcome email with instructions to set up their password.

If you don’t see the email, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.
