# Creating a User

A User represents an individual identity within a Control Account and Channel Account and is used to assign roles, permissions, and access. A user account exists once, even if the user has access to multiple organizations or accounts. Think of it as a person’s identity.

To create a user:

1. Click your username in the navigation bar and select **My Profile**. The Profile page is displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1721052729188.png)
