# Data Watcher users and groups

In Data Watcher, users and groups are managed by the **Administrator account**, which is created during the installation process and cannot be deleted or modified.

### Create users

To create a new user, follow these steps:

1. Go to **Setup** → **Users** and click the **NEW USER** button.
2. In the **New user** window, fill in these fields:
   1. **Username**: unique username to log into Data Watcher. This field is required.
   2. **Password**: password to log into Data Watcher. This field is required.
   3. **First Name and Last Name**: name and last name of the user. This field is optional.
   4. **Email**: Email of the user. This field is optional.
3. Click the **+** button next to the **Roles** wording and select a role for the user in the **Add Roles** window. This method speeds up user setup and ensures that permissions are assigned consistently across all users belonging to the same role. To create new **Roles**, see the [Data Watcher Roles](/data-watcher-1.21/setup/data-watcher-roles.md) page.
4. Click the **+** button next to the **Groups** wording and select the Group to which the user will belong in the **Add Groups** window. To create new **Groups**, see below.
5. In the **Permissions** panel on the right, select the permissions you want to assign to the user. If you used the **Roles** feature, permissions are already enabled but you can select more if necessary. For clarity, the origin of each permission (role or group) is shown in brackets.\
   When creating a new user, all permissions are listed, and you can filter by typing part of the name in the field with the lens at the top. You can also type the Entity (e.g. CALENDAR) to list all permissions belonging to the Calendar feature at once.\
   You can also see only the already assigned permissions by clicking on the <img src="https://files.readme.io/3ac0d8aad0ef374e956011d51d8eb1af8a1c4561486489becfc16e8084245bd5-image.png" alt="" data-size="line"> icon.

### Create groups

To create a new group of users, follow these steps:

2. Click the **NEW GROUP** button.
3. In the **New group** window, assign a unique name to the group you are creating.

   You can also see only the already assigned permissions by clicking on the <img src="https://files.readme.io/3ac0d8aad0ef374e956011d51d8eb1af8a1c4561486489becfc16e8084245bd5-image.png" alt="" data-size="line"> icon. The icon becomes a closed eye <img src="https://files.readme.io/7a1bca4c810115afafd0c8086700dec748a9d4e84ff2007a22cb30f48b89e308-image.png" alt="" data-size="line"> and to list all permissions again, you must click on it.\
   The permissions assigned to the group will be added to the permissions assigned to the user and the permissions assigned to the role.
6. Click the **SAVE** button to confirm the creation of the group.

### Manage users and groups

To edit users and groups, click the user or the group and the relevant **Edit** window will appear.

To delete a user, click the 3 dots icon on the right of the row and select the **Delete** option. Note that **the Admin user cannot be deleted or modified**.

To delete a group, hover over the group and click the **bin icon** in the top right corner. Note that **the System Administrators group cannot be deleted or modified**.

To filter users, you can use the **Filters** panel on the right of the **Users page**. These fields are available:

* **First name and last name**
* **Username**
* **Email**
* **Origin**: users can be either external (LDAP) or internal (created in Data Watcher)

To filter groups, use the **Search Groups** field at the top of the page.
