# Creating and Deleting a User

## Creating a User

See [Step 3 in *Getting Started: Creating a User*](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key#creating-a-user).

## Creating a User With Billing Portal Access

You can give a sub-user the ability to view or update billing information. To do this, associate either of these predefined policies with the user:

- WasabiViewBillingAccess to only view invoice details and download a PDF
- WasabiModifyBillingAccess to update payment information

When creating the new user:

1. Allow IAM Users and Roles to access the Billing Portal. Click **Settings** on the Wasabi menu. Or, open the account sign-in ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1697644604764.png) drop-down and click **Settings**. Select **Billing portal access for IAM Users and Roles** and [enable the setting](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/allowing-iam-users-and-roles-to-access-the-billing-portal?highlight=billing).
2. As the Root user, [create the sub-user](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key#creating-a-user). When prompted to associate policies, attach WasabiViewBillingAccess and/or WasabiModifyBillingAccess.

When the new sub-user first logs in to Wasabi, an Access Denied message may appear. This occurs because the system attempts to show a list of all buckets. Once the policy is applied, the Billing Portal is displayed.

## Deleting a User

Deleting a user will detach all policies and delete all API keys.

1. On the Users panel, click on a user to delete. The User panel is displayed. For example:

2. Click **Delete User**.
3. A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete the user. Click **Delete** to do so.
