4. Supply values for the **User name** , **Full name** , **Email** , and **Password**.

<Warning>
  **Important:** You must select a tenant for a user or add them as a Global User to finish creating the user account.
</Warning>

5. Assign the user to one or more **Tenants** , or enable the **Global User** toggle to make them a global user.

   * If you enable the toggle **Global** , the user has access to all global content and Visual Data Discovery content outside of individual tenants. Optionally, enable **VDD Content Distributor** to allow this user to import and share content to users and tenants.

   * If you leave the toggle **Global** disabled, you must add the user to at least one tenant.

6. Optionally, enable the toggle **Administrator** to make them an administrator. All administrator users have the same ability to import and share content as members of the Content Distributors group.

   * If this is a **Global** user , the new user is a System Administrator.

   * If this is a member of one or more **Tenants** , the new user is a tenant administrator for those tenants.

7. Select **Create user** to create the new user. A success message appears, and you are returned to the User work area.
