# Users

## Create User

Administrators can create, modify, and delete user accounts.

5. After creating a new user, HiddenLayer will generate and send a new password to the newly created user.

## Defined Roles

The Console provides defined roles that you can assign your users to. To assign a role to a user, see [Create User](#create-user) or [Edit User](#edit-user).

The following table shows permissions for each role.

* **Admin**: Can view all pages, has access to the admin section, and can manage users (add, edit, change role, and delete users).
* **User Admin**: Can manage users (add, edit, change role, and delete users).
* **Analyst**: Can view all data and interact with the model inventory, models, detections, and LLM Sandbox. Does not have access to the administrator functions.
* **Viewer**: Read-only access to the Console and does not have access to the administrator functions.
