# Add people and name administrators

Add accounts, give them app access through groups, hand out separate administration grants, and review the access history.

The **People** page is one account directory for Eugene and its apps, Workbench included. You add people, decide what they may open, and can hand parts of that job to others.

## Add a person and set their access

1.  Open **People**, then **Add a person**. Fill in **Name they sign in with** and **First password**. **Full name** and **Email** are optional. Choose **Apps they may sign in to** and press **Add**.
2.  To find them later, type in **Find a person** and select the row.
3.  In **Groups and app access**, under **Access source**, choose **Individual access** and set **Allowed apps** (press **Save apps**), or choose **Use permission groups**, tick the groups and press **Save access**.
4.  To make a group, go to **Permission groups** on the same page and press **Add group**. Give it a **Group name**, choose its **App access** and **Job-site permissions**, and press **Create group**.

## Name an administrator

1.  Open the person’s account. In **Administration permissions**, tick what they need and press **Save administration access**:
    -   **Manage accounts:** create accounts, change display names, disable or delete ordinary accounts.
    -   **Define permission groups:** create, edit and delete groups.
    -   Under **Assign members to these groups**, tick the groups whose members they may assign.
2.  They sign in at **People and access sign-in**, with their own account name and password.
3.  To take it back, clear every box and press **Save administration access**. Their administration sessions end.
4.  To see what changed and who did it, open **Access history** on the People page and press **Refresh history**.

**Good to know**

-   The three grants are separate. An administrator can only create accounts without access, and cannot reset passwords, change emails, name other administrators or switch an account between individual and group access. Those stay with the owner.
-   Changing a group changes access for every member. That is why **Define permission groups** is its own grant.
-   Administration permissions do not open machine controls or anyone else’s private chats.
-   **Access history** lists committed changes to accounts, groups, apps and keys. It keeps the latest 1,000 and shows 50. Model requests are in Gateway Metrics, and job-site activity in each site’s own history.
-   To stop someone signing in without deleting them, press **Turn signing in off** under **Account actions**.
