# How do I add a user to my project?

## This article will walk you through the steps to manage users from the project settings.

#### **Things to consider:**

- Before you can add users to a project, they must already have user permissions in the system. If they don't, they won’t appear in the dropdown list when assigning users to a project.
- This action will add the project to the user's profile. Alternatively, you can also add it directly from the user's profile.

#### **Steps to Add a User:**

Step 1. In the top-right corner, click the menu icon and select **"Project Settings."**

Step 2. Scroll down to the **"Users"** section and click **"Manage Users."**

Step 3. Add Users

- Select them from the list on the left and click the **(+)** icon next to their name.
- Click **"Save"** to confirm the changes. The user should now be added to the project

💡**Tip**: To remove, simply click the **(-)** icon next to the user's name and click "save" to confirm changes.

 

Step 4. Confirm that the users have been updated.
