How to Create Users in Your Organization from the Admin Console

February 5, 2026

As an Admin, you can add and create users in your Server. Each added user takes up one of your available user “seats” or “licenses” and will have different permissions based on their user type.

Types of Users

When you create a user (which we’ll cover below), there are two different types of user permissions:

  • Server Admin: This type of user has no restrictions—they can access the Admin Console, create and manage forms, tables, and other resources.
  • User: This type of user can create and manage forms owned by them, as well as any assets that are owned by a Team they’re a member of.

Inviting Users

You can either use a link or an email to invite a new user to the platform. We’ll walk through both options, starting with an email. 

Invite by Email

  1. In the Admin Console, click on Users on the left-hand side of the page.

The invited user will get an email inviting them to sign up for an account on your Server.

Adding user to a team directly in the user creation

If you’d like to add the user to a team from the beginning, you can:

  1. In the Add New User pop-up, choose the team from the Add to team dropdown menu.

Note

When you add a user with the Admin user type, you can only select Team Admin as the role. Only users with the User type can be assigned the Data Collaborator, Data Viewer, or Creator roles.

Invite by Link

  1. In the Admin Console, click on Users on the left-hand side of the page.

When they open the link, they’ll be prompted to sign up for a User account on your server.

If you need to update their user permissions, you can also do this in the Admin Console. We’ll go over that in our guide How to Update User Information in Your Organization from the Admin Console.
