To view the user list, change a user's role, or remove a user, see [User Management](/docs/cbp/navigating-the-platform/settings/user-management/).

## Prerequisites

- Adding a user requires access to a CloudBolt Platform user account with the **Owner** permission.
- Accepting an invitation requires access to the user's email account.

## Select an organization

To select a CloudBolt Platform organization:

1. Log in to the CloudBolt Platform as a user with the **Owner** permission. The address depends on where your organization's tenant is hosted; see [Sign in](/docs/cbp/getting-started/#sign-in).
1. In the sidebar, select **Switch Organization**.
1. Choose the organization to make active.

For details, see [Switch Organization](/docs/cbp/navigating-the-platform/switch-organization/).

## Add a user

To add a user to a CloudBolt Platform organization:

1. Log in to the CloudBolt Platform as a user with the **Owner** permission. The address depends on where your organization's tenant is hosted; see [Sign in](/docs/cbp/getting-started/#sign-in).
1. Select **Settings** in the lower-left corner.

1. Select **Add User**.
1. Enter the user's email address and choose a role. If you don't choose one, the role defaults to **Stakeholder**.
1. Select **Add User**. If the person doesn't have a CloudBolt account yet, CloudBolt sends them an email invitation.

Until the person accepts the invitation and signs in, they show an **Invited** badge in the user list, and their role cannot be changed.

## Accept the invitation

To accept the invitation to join a CloudBolt Platform organization:

1. Open the email from `accounts@cloudbolt.io` with the subject **'You've been invited to join {organization's} CloudBolt account'**
1. Select the **Accept Invitation** button.
1. Enter your email address and select Continue.

## Next steps

Once a user has accepted their invitation, manage them from [User Management](/docs/cbp/navigating-the-platform/settings/user-management/): view the full user list, change a user's role, or remove a user.
