# Add an Administrator

These steps show how to add an Administrator when username/password authentication is in use.

> **Note**
>
> When CloudConnexa is used for authentication (the default), users must be provisioned. Refer to [CloudConnexa Username & Password](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/settings/settings---user-authentication/set-cloudconnexa-username---password-authentication-for-users.md). When LDAP or SAML is used as an authentication method, users are added automatically after authentication.

To add an Administrator to CloudConnexa, follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to the CloudConnexa Administration Portal using your WPC's **Cloud ID** address (for example, `yourcompany.openvpn.com`).
2. Navigate to **Users \> Users**.
3. Click **Add User**.
4. Select the **Admin** tab.
5. For **Username**, provide a unique username. Note that an email address can be used as a username.
6. For **Primary User Group**, select a User Group from the displayed drop-down list. Additional User Groups can be assigned as ‘Secondary’ from the User Details page. See [View details and devices for a User](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/users/users---users/view-details-and-devices-for-a-user.md).
7. For **First Name**, optionally provide the first name of the person.
8. For **Last Name**, optionally provide the last name of the person.
9. For **Email**, provide the person's email.

   > **Note**
   >
   > The email address for an Admin is mandatory because they receive system notifications. See, [Settings - Notifications](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/settings/settings---notifications.md).
10. Click **Add User**.
