You can create additional account users and manage their settings.

## Creating a User

To create a new user for your account, go to **Account Settings** → **Users** and click **Create**. Fill in the required fields.

#### User Information

-   **Name** — Enter the user's name, for example: _Mary Smith_ or _Development Team_. The name will be _visible in both your panel and the user's panel_.
-   **Email** — Provide a valid email address. The user will receive a login link at this address. Note: the email cannot be changed later. If entered incorrectly, you’ll need to create a new user.
-   **Password** — You can use the auto-generated password or enter your own. The password will be shown to the user upon their first login.
-   **Comment** — Optional. You can add additional information about the user. The comment is _visible to the account owner only_.
-   **Avatar** — You can optionally upload an avatar for the user. The avatar is _visible to the account owner only_.

Only the account owner can edit this information and manage access rights.

#### Projects

Specify which projects the user should have access to:

-   **All projects** — Grants access to all projects within the account.
-   **Select projects** — Grants access to specific projects. You can choose one or more.

#### Access Permissions

Grant access to specific sections and resources of the account. Click on **No access** next to a resource and select the appropriate access level:

-   **Management** — Full access to the section, identical to that of the account owner.
-   **Read only** — Allows the user to view the section content but not make changes.
-   **No access** — The user will see a notice that access is restricted, and the content will be hidden.

> [!NOTE]
> Granting access to certain sections automatically includes access to related sections. [More details here](https://hostman.com/docs/account/iam/iam-features/#access-combinations).

After setting all necessary permissions, click **Create**. 

The new user will appear in the dashboard, and they’ll receive an email with a link to log in to the account.

## Editing Users

You can edit users’ details and permissions in two ways:

-   In the **Users** section — it displays **all** additional users of the account.

-   In **Projects** → select a project → **Users**. This shows users with access to that specific project.
    

![6d606005 F8c4 4acf B8a0 Ce3dfe88c6f6](https://content.hostman.com/assets/01819c69-3dec-4c02-9515-d265fd476bd7.png?width=1528&height=849)

To edit a user’s details or permissions, click on the user.

In the **Information** tab, you can change the name, password, or comment.

> [!NOTE]
> When you change the password, Hostman won’t send it to the user. You need to contact the user directly and provide them with the new password. 

In the **Rights and access** tab, you can modify the user’s access settings.

## Users and Projects

In the **Projects** section, you can:

-   View which users have access to a specific project
-   Add existing users to a new project
-   Add existing users to an existing project
-   Edit user information
-   Block users
-   Remove users from a project
-   Remove users from the account entirely

When creating a new project, you can immediately select which users should have access to it.

![78e6d30e 88a8 4e5c 819a B4e528c8be6b](https://content.hostman.com/assets/99935be6-3d39-4cf8-aa6c-35e8d2cf8a86.png?width=615&height=655)

On the main **Projects** page, avatars of users assigned to each project will be displayed. Hover over an avatar to see the user's name.

![6a54de7d 04a1 41fb A780 F32f69456554](https://content.hostman.com/assets/53d9f963-6e21-49e2-926c-900c56b21d65.png?width=1538&height=848)

To adjust access settings, click on the project and go to the **Users** tab. You’ll see a list of all users who have access to this project. 

![6d606005 F8c4 4acf B8a0 Ce3dfe88c6f6](https://content.hostman.com/assets/01819c69-3dec-4c02-9515-d265fd476bd7.png?width=1528&height=849)

Click on a user’s row to edit their information or access rights.

You can also add more users or remove users from the project.

To grant a user access to a project:

1.  Click **Add**.
2.  Select the users you want to include.
3.  Click **Save**.

![23825f1f Ba8a 4000 B2cf 037bf14283b9](https://content.hostman.com/assets/391e62cc-e994-49b7-995a-9ac59a0bb453.png?width=1538&height=843)

To remove a user from a project:

1.  Click **Add**.
2.  Remove the user from the list.
3.  Click **Save**.

![E02d0ccf F78b 4c74 B84b 4750735eb60f](https://content.hostman.com/assets/1d09db12-28ca-4ab5-a19c-ec468a025195.png?width=1534&height=851)

The user will be removed _from the project_, but remain on the account.

However, the **Delete** option will remove the user from the account completely:

## Blocking a User

If you want to temporarily restrict a user’s access to the panel, you can block them. This can be done from either the **Users** or **Projects** section.

All access settings will be preserved, and after unblocking, the user will regain access according to their existing permissions.

To block a user:

1.  Go to **Account Settings** → **Users** or to a project → **Users**.
2.  Hover over the user and click the lock icon.
3.  Confirm the action.

![D368de0d 22c2 4d0a Bd60 11be3a7d02aa](https://content.hostman.com/assets/6d08dcbc-39d0-46e9-87e5-2a1648b73d78.png?width=1538&height=843)

The user will now appear in the account user list with a blocked status.

If they try to log in, they’ll see a message saying the login or password is incorrect.

You can still edit a blocked user’s information and access rights. Any changes will apply once the user is unblocked.

To unblock the user, click the lock icon again and confirm.

## Deleting a User

> [!NOTE]
> If you need to temporarily restrict access, consider [blocking the user](https://hostman.com/docs/account/iam/user-management/#blocking-a-user) instead of deleting them.

To delete a user:

1.  Go to **Account Settings** → **Users** or to a project → **Users**.
2.  Hover over the user and click the three-dot menu.
3.  Select **Delete**.
4.  Confirm the action.

![012f6b9e A265 41ca B743 7c06ca88ad40](https://content.hostman.com/assets/31a82afa-6e5c-424f-b5b0-013525c09441.png?width=1548&height=848)

If the user tries to log in, they will receive a message saying the login or password is incorrect.

You can also delete a user by clicking their name in the list, then clicking the trash icon in the top-right corner.
