# User Management

### Creating a new user

To create a new user in the system, navigate to System Administration > Manage Accounts. Select the "Add New Account" button. All user accounts must be provider accounts. 

After creating a new user, it is possible to assign that user to one or many programs. To assign a user to a program, select the box to the left of the program name. Selecting a region will automatically select each subsidiary program under that level. A user must have access to the region in which a given event is occurring to be able to add data to that given event. 

### Modifying an existing user account

Use the pencil button in the "Action" column under System Administration > Manage accounts to modify the permissions of an existing user account.
