# Create a new local user
To create a new internal or external local user in Panorama:
1. Go to the **Users** section and click **New User**. The **New user** window appears.
2. By default, users are **Internal**. To create an **external user**, select the **External** button.
## User details
Fill in the following fields:
* **Username** (required): Unique login name. Only alphanumeric characters are supported.
* **Password** (required): Login password. Minimum length: 8 characters.
* **First Name / Last Name** (optional). If provided, these values appear in the chip at the top-right corner of Panorama. If left empty, the username is displayed instead.
* **Email** (optional). If you want to use the option **“Notify me by email when the export is ready”** in **Export CSV**, this field must contain a valid email address. See the [Mail Sender](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/plugins-configuration/mail-sender.md) page for details about how to set up the email server.
## Roles assignment (internal users only)
If the local user is internal, you can assign roles by clicking the **+** next to **Roles**.
This speeds up user setup and ensures that permissions are assigned consistently across all users belonging to the same role.
Roles must already exist. See the [Set Roles](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/users-and-roles-setup/set-roles.md) page.
When creating a new user, after assigning roles you must **save the user and reopen the user profile** to correctly display the permissions inherited from the assigned roles.
When editing an existing user, if you assign a new or different role, the corresponding permissions are loaded immediately.
## Permissions (internal users only)
For internal local users, you can manage permissions in the **Permissions** panel.
When creating a new internal user, **all available permissions are initially displayed**.
If one or more roles are assigned, the permissions associated with those roles are **automatically enabled**. These role‑based permissions are visually identified by a **purple permission chip** and by an indication in brackets showing the role they originate from.
Additional permissions can be enabled manually if required. Manually assigned permissions are displayed with an **orange permission chip**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: Permissions inherited from roles are fully visible **only after saving the newly created user and reopening the user profile**.
{% endhint %}
The permissions list can be filtered by typing all or part of the permission name in the Search field. You can also limit the view to **assigned permissions only** by clicking the eye icon. When the icon changes to a closed eye only assigned permissions are shown. Click it again to display the full list of permissions.
When finished, click **Save** to confirm.
