<p>This tutorial teaches how to create new users in ERP5. The difference between Person and User is that a Person in ERP5 holds information related to an individual which is relevant to your organisation (for example a prospect, client supplier or employee) while a User has access to your ERP5 instance. The permissions, a user has in ERP5 are defined by assignments.</p>
<p>During this tutorial, you will create two Users:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cédric de Saint Martin: Information Systems Manager of your company and</li>
<li>Yingjie XU: Support Agent of your company.</li>
</ul>
<p>During this tutorial please replace "VIFIB" with your company name.</p>

<p>The process of creating a new User has three steps: Firstly, create and <strong>validate</strong> a Person who is the future User of your ERP5 instance. Secondly, <strong>add Assignment</strong> to this new User by using the Action item list. Finally, <strong>create User Account</strong> for this Person by using the Action item list. Then this new User can access to your ERP5 instance using the login and password you have set during the creation.</p>

<p>After reading the tutorial <ahref="user-Howto.Create.Persons/view">"How to create Persons"</a>, you can now try to create a new Person account for a staff of your company. In our case, we create an account for a VIFIB manager Cédric de Saint Martin, as shown in the screenshot.</p>

<detailsopen="open">
<p>Validate the Person you just created before going to next step.</p>
<p>Without the assignment, even you has added a user account to the person document, the person still won't be able to access your ERP5 instance.To start an assignment, <strong>open the Action item list and click on "Add Assignment"</strong> .</p>
<p>Now you are located in the Assignment document. Fill in the fields and save the data.</p>
<p>Note: there two important fields to fill up. First, you must <strong>select the Group for the Assignment, and the Group must be your company, otherwise the User won't be able to access your ERP5 instance</strong> . Second, <strong>fill carefully the Assignment Start Date and Stop Date. The Assignment is only valid in the defined interval</strong> , which means the User can only login your ERP5 instance in the defined interval.</p>

<p>Note: It is important to remember the three steps must be performed correctly. Don't forget to <strong>Validate</strong> the person you created and to <strong>Start Assignment</strong> . Otherwise it won't be possible to connect to ERP5 using the user created.</p>
