# User management

Administrators can add or remove users from the organization from the **Organization > Accounts** section of the portal.

### Add a user

Add a new user by clicking the "add" button in the upper left. Complete the form in the next step, then click "add user". An email will be sent to the invited user with the subject *"You have been added to \[your organization name] organization"*. 

For Subsalt managed organizations using SSO, the email will provide a login link. If the organization account is Subsalt managed (*not* using SSO), the email will prompt the new user to set their password via a link prior to logging in.

#### External Users <a href="#external-user" id="external-user"></a>

Users can be marked as `External` during user creation via the **External User** checkbox. This allows creation of Subsalt managed (*not* using SSO) user accounts that have limited access to the organization's datasets. Guest users will not have access to any databases by default; access can be granted as needed via [Access control and sharing](/administration/access-control-and-sharing.md) functionality.

### Modify user roles

You can assign a new role to a user by clicking on their existing role on the **Accounts** page, and selecting a new role from the dropdown. You can read more about available roles in [Access control and sharing](/administration/access-control-and-sharing.md).

### Remove a user

Remove a user by clicking the "x" icon to the far right of a user's entry on the **Accounts** page. Confirm deletion by clicking the "remove" button. Removed users will immediately lose access to the Subsalt system.
