# Create a user and assign him to a perimeter

## In this article, you will learn how to create a user and assign them to the alerts they need to follow.

 

**SUMMARY**

- Create an user

### Create an user

To access the Portal, a user must first have been invited to create an account. Only the following people can create an account:

- a user in your company with user management rights
- an internal XMCO employee (CERT consultant, auditor, etc.)

### **Prerequisite: Permission to create a user**

To create a user, you must have the **Create a user** permission.

You can check your rights as follows:

- Click on your initials and click on **Account settings** (also available in the Header)
- Click on the **Permissions** tab and check that the **Create users** right is visible in the **General** section.

### **Create a new user independent of any scope**

**Step 1 :**Go to the users list

- Go to the **Configuration** menu
- Click on the **Users** button

**Step 2 :** Create the new user

- Select the **+** button to add a new user
- *Fill in the details of the new user*

### **Create a user directly assigned to an existing scope**

If you want to create a user and you already know **which scope you want to assign them to**, and the scope has **already been created**, you can follow these steps:

**Step 1 :** Go to the list of existing scope users

- Go to the **Configuration** menu
- Choose the **MyAccount** submenu
- Choose the **scope** to which you want to attach the user, then click on the **Users** button

**Step 2 :** Create the new user

- Select the **+** button to add a new user
- *Fill in the details of the new user*

### **Fill in the information for the new user**

**Step 1 :** Fill in the general information

- In the pop-up window, you need to fill in the following information: 
    - First name
    - Last name
    - Mobile phone (optional for SMS alerts, in E.164 format)
    - Language (you can choose between French and English)
    - Email address
    - Mail format (possible choice between HTML or plain text)

> If you want to create several accounts for the same email address, you can use the character in the address.
> 
> For example, if your email address is **username**@mail.com, you can use the address **username+test**@mail.com, which will **redirect all email notifications** to username@mail.com.

**Step 2 :** Select the user profile

#### There are four types of 'general' profile with different levels of privileges:

- #### **Manager**: manages account creation, scope management and action tickets;
- #### **Module** **manager**: similar to a manager, manages a module (Yuno, Serenety, Pentests);
- #### **Regular** **user**: cannot create accounts or scopes, but can manage action tickets and can be assigned rights to scopes;
- #### **External** **service** **provider**: can only view action tickets (Serenety alerts, Yuno tickets, pentests recommendations, etc.).

**Step 3 :** Select module(s)

The choice of modules gives the user access to the perimeters of these modules (Serenety, Yuno, etc.).

You can choose between all the modules where the company has a subscription (i.e. a contractual commitment).

#### **Remember to fill in this field correctly; it is mandatory if you want your user to have access to a perimeter!**

**Step 4 :** Select access permission of scope

The privilege of modifying a scope depends on the right given to the user:

- **Read only:** the user can simply consult the information in the scope, and in particular the associated action tickets, the associated assets, the associated technologies, etc..
- **Read and write**: the user can manage the perimeter, either by modifying or deleting it.

**Step 5 :** Register the user

#### Once you have filled in all the necessary information, check that the **Send by email** option is ticked (this will send an e-mail to your user for the first time, so that they can register their password). You can then click on the **Add** button to create the user.

#### You can find the user :

- #### In the global list of users;
- #### In your company's list of users;
- #### In the selection of users associated with your perimeters.

**Assigning a user to an existing scope**

Once the user has been created, you can assign him to a scope (if this has not been done before).

**Step 1 :** Go to the list of existing scope users

- Go to the **Configuration** menu
- Choose the **MyAccount** submenu
- Choose the **scope** to which you want to attach the user, then click on the **Users** button

**Step 2 :** Assign the user to the perimeter

- Click on the **Assign an user** button
- Follow the step-by-step pop-up
