# Manage Users

Everyone who works in OrderEazi Central needs their own sign-in, and what each person can see and change should match their job. Under **Settings** > **Manage Users**, you add the people who use OrderEazi and set up the roles that decide what they can do.

### Before you start

**Users** needs the **Manage Users** permission, and **Roles** needs **Manage Roles**. Both are in the **Settings** permission group. If **Manage Users** isn't in your **Settings** menu, ask your OrderEazi administrator to add these permissions to your role.

### How users and roles fit together

* **Permissions:** Each permission lets a person see or do one thing, such as **Create New Project** or **View Clients**. They're grouped by area, such as **Projects**, **Clients**, and **Reports**.
* **Roles:** A role is a set of permissions and default settings for a job, such as Sales or Accounts. It also decides whether people see every project or only their own.
* **Users:** A user is one person who signs in. Each user has one role, and gets a copy of that role's permissions when you give it to them. You can then add or remove permissions for that person only.

**Example:** You set up a Sales role and an Accounts role. When you add Thandi Nkosi as a sales rep, you give her the Sales role, and she gets the Sales permissions. Later you let Thandi duplicate projects as well, by ticking **Duplicate Project** on her user. Nobody else in the Sales role is affected.

Set up your roles first, then add your users. You'll find the steps on these pages:

* [Users](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/users.md): add people, link them to branches, disable people who have left, and reset multi-factor authentication
* [Edit User](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/edit-user.md): change one person's permissions, settings, and which projects they can see
* [Roles](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/roles.md): create, clone, disable, and delete roles
* [Edit Role](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/edit-role.md): change a role's permissions, defaults, and project visibility, and decide whether existing users get the change
* [Permissions reference](/central/order-management/settings/manage-users/permissions-reference.md): every permission group, and the licence or add-on it needs
