# Add new users

Account administrators can add new users to the account from the **Users** page.

Once a user is added, they will receive an invitation email containing a unique link. To join the account, the user must accept the invitation and complete the registration process within 7 days. Otherwise, the invitation expires and must be resent.

Before adding a user to your account, note the following points:

* Ensure you have the user's email address and full name.
* Make sure the user is not already added to the account. If they are, the platform displays a message.
* When adding the user, make sure to assign them to the correct group. For information on creating or updating a group, see [Groups](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/settings/groups).
