# Register new Back Office users

You can add new users to the Back Office only if you have the necessary permissions to manage users.

To add a new Back Office user:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **System** > **Users** > **Users**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **+Create** in the upper-right page corner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Create user** page, fill in the following fields:

* In the **Email** field, enter the user's email address.
* In the **Password** field, enter a password. You can also generate a secure password by clicking the **Generate** button on the right side of the field. To view the generated password, enable the **Show password** option.
* In the **Status** dropdown, select **Enabled**.
* In the **Groups** dropdown, select one or more groups in which the new user will be included.

{% hint style="info" %}
The selected groups define the permissions that the new user will have.

The **Administrators** group grants all the available permissions to the users included in this group.
{% endhint %}

* In the **Name** field, enter the user’s first and last names.
* Select the **Send to email** checkbox to send credentials to the specified user email address.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you use a standalone B2COPY solution without an SMTP server, don’t enable the **Send to email** checkbox because emails can’t be sent. In this case, you must securely provide the credentials to the new user through an alternative method.
{% endhint %}

* Select the **Mask data** checkbox to prevent the user from viewing client personal data. With this option enabled, such data as client names, email addresses, and phone numbers will be masked with asterisks (\*) for this particular Back Office user.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to register the new user in the Back Office.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The user’s profile has been created in the system and added to the list displayed on the **Users** page.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For newly registered Back Office users, two-factor authentication (2FA) via email codes is enabled by default. If you use a standalone B2COPY solution without an SMTP server, [disable 2FA via email codes](https://docs.b2copy.b2broker.com/admin-guide/register-new-back-office-users/disable-2fa-for-back-office-users) for newly registered users, as emails can’t be sent in this case.
