# Users in Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage

A *user* is an individual for whom you create Wasabi authentication, giving that person permission to perform actions in Wasabi. You can create a maximum of 4999 sub-users per account.

When you first create a Wasabi account, you create a Root User. When you click the sign-in ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1697644604764.png) drop-down, you will see that you are signed in as Root User. The Root User should be reserved for specific account and service management tasks. It is not good practice for the Root User to perform routine tasks. Instead, create a new user for each person (as described in this chapter), even for those who require administrative access.
