# Adding a User in Warchest

#### **Before You Begin**

Think carefully about which **access level** to assign. Owners have full control, while Users and Partner Users have more limited access

#### **Adding a User**

1. From the **Overview** page, go to the **Users** tab.

2. Click **Add User**.

3. Enter the following details:  
     - **First Name**
     - **Last Name**
     - **Email Address**
4. Choose an **Access Level**:  
     - **Owner**: View and edit all budget data, and manage all users and permissions.

1. - **Admin**: View and edit all budget data, but cannot manage users or permissions.

1. - **User**: View-only access (no ability to make changes).

- **Partner User**: Access only to specific warchests  you select and view-only access.

- - - If assigning a **Partner User**, check the boxes for the warchests they should be able to see.

**Best Practices**

- Use **Owner access sparingly**, as it grants full control over the account.
- Assign **Admin** access to team members who need to manage data but not users.
- Choose **Partner User** access for external collaborators, limiting them only to the budgets they need.
- Review user permissions regularly to ensure appropriate access.
