# How to Add Vultr Account Users

Vultr allows you to create individual user accounts within your organization’s account, enabling team members to access services using their own login credentials. You can assign specific permissions to each user, controlling which actions they are authorized to perform and which resources they can access. Implementing user accounts with defined roles and access levels helps enforce organizational security policies and ensures proper management of your Vultr services.

Follow this guide to add new users using the Vultr Console, API, or CLI.

=== "Vultr Console"

    1. Navigate to **Account** and select **Users** under **OTHER**.
    1. Click **Add New User**.
    1. Enter the user's **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Email** address.
    1. Customize the user permissions as required and click **Add User**.
    1. An email will be sent to the provided address with a link to set the password for the user account.
    1. After the user is created, select their profile from the users list to retrieve the API key.

=== "Vultr API"

    1. Send a `POST` request to the [**Create User** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/users/operation/create-user) to create a user.

        ```console
        $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/users" \
            -X POST \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            --data '{
                "email" : "user@example.com",
                "first_name" : "Example",
                "last_name" : "User",
                "password" : "example-password",
                "api_enabled" : true,
                "acls" : [
                "manage_users",
                "subscriptions_view",
                "subscriptions",
                "provisioning",
                "billing",
                "support",
                "abuse",
                "dns",
                "upgrade",
                "objstore",
                "loadbalancer"
                ]
            }'
        ```

        Visit the [**Create User** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/users/operation/create-user) to view additional attributes to add to your request.

    1. Send a `GET` request to the [**Get Users** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/users/operation/list-users) to view all users.

        ```console
        $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/users" \
            -X GET \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
        ```

=== "Vultr CLI"

    1. Create a new user by specifying the name, email, password, and user access control settings.

        ```console
        $ vultr-cli users create --email="vultrcli@vultr.com" --name="Vultr-cli" \ 
			--password="Password123" --api-enabled="true" --acl="manage_users,billing"
        ```

        Run `vultr-cli users create --help` to view additional available options.

    1. List all users.

        ```console
        $ vultr-cli users list
        ```
