# User Management

SMART is best when working together! Once your project has been setup, you can invite friends and colleagues to join you in the platform.

In the Users tab, you can see everyone who currently has access to your project; and invite new users to the platform.

## Adding New Users

To add someone new to your project, click the Add User button.

![Creating a new user](https://docs.smartcoro.com/_images/create-new-user.png)

Enter in the email address of whoever you want to invite to SMART. Every user is assigned to a permission group, which controls what they can and cannot do within the platform.

By default, SMART comes with three permission groups:

- Administrator: full access to the platform. Administrators can configure key project settings, and grant access to new users.
- SMART Coordinator: access to device management. This is a great role for supervisors on your project – they are able to manage device assignments but cannot add new users to the project.
- SMART Read-Only Access: these users are able to browse through project data but cannot make any changes to the platform.

Once a user is added to the project, they will get an email inviting them to setup their account:

Each SMART project has a limited number of seats, depending on your current subscription plan. If you need to add more people to your project, contact us at `sales@lwanalytics.com`.

## Permission Management

For most projects, the default permission groups should work fine, but if you want to create fine-grained access controls, you can manage permissions within the User Groups tab.
