title: Create and manage users
---
When using the UCP built-in authentication, you need to create users and
assign them a default permission level so that they can access the
cluster.
To create a new user, go to the **UCP web UI**, and navigate to the
**Users & Teams** page.

Click the **Create User** button, and fill-in the user information.

Check the `Is a UCP admin` option, if you want to grant permissions for the
user to change cluster configurations. Also, assign the user a default
permission level.
Default permissions specify the permission a user has for resources that don't
have the `com.docker.access.label` label applied to them. There are four
permission levels:
| Default permission level | Description |
|:-------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `No Access` | The user can't view resource, like services, images, networks, and volumes. |
| `View Only` | The user can view images and volumes, but can't create services. |
| `Restricted Control` | The user can view and edit volumes and networks. They can create services, but can't see other users' services, run `docker exec`, or run containers that require privileged access to the host. |
| `Full Control` | The user can view and edit volumes and networks. They can create containers without any restriction, but can't see other users' containers. |
[Learn more about the UCP permission levels](permission-levels.md). Finally,
click the **Create User** button, to create the user.
