# Managing Users | ||
|
||
## How to Add a User | ||
1. Log in to Drupal. You will need the Administrator role to Manage Users. | ||
1. Click the **Manage** tab from the top toolbar. | ||
1. Select the **People** tab from the resulting menu to bring up the *People* page. | ||
![Alt text](../assets/users_people.png "People page") | ||
1. Click the blue **Add user** button to bring up the *Add user* page. | ||
1. Enter all required fields, as indicated by red asterisks, in the *Add user* page. | ||
1. In the *Roles* section, click on the roles that the new user will need. | ||
- Click on "Administrator" if the new user will need to be able to run administrative tasks in Drupal or Islandora 8. | ||
- Click on "fedoraAdmin" if the new user will need to be able to write to Fedora. This is required by the WebAC authentication so Islandora 8 and Fedora can communicate. | ||
1. Review other settings available for a new user such as: | ||
- Site language | ||
- *English* selected by default. | ||
- Contact Settings section | ||
- *Personal contact form* selected by default. | ||
1. Click on the **Create New Account** button at the bottom of the *Add user* page to finish adding a new user. | ||
|
||
To review/edit the permission for each role, in the *People* page click the **Permissions** tab in the set of tabs above the **Add user** button. | ||
|
||
## How to Create a New User Role | ||

1. Click the **Roles** tab in the set of tabs above the **Add user** button. | ||
1. Click the blue **Add role** button to bring up the *Add role* page. | ||
![Alt text](../assets/users_people_roles.png "Roles page") | ||
