# Adding users and groups

Add a new user or group from the **Users & groups** tab

1. Add your users first
2. After adding a user, you can select their Global and Site roles from the **Account** tab, and add physical passes for them from the **Passes** tab

{% endhint %}

3. Add a group
4. Add users to your group

{% hint style="info" %}
You can add users to multiple groups
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can set access schedules for particular groups, so consider also creating groups based on shared access schedules. For example, ‘Medium Security’
{% endhint %}
