## Add a person

1.  **Open People in the administration site.** Create an account with a unique username.
2.  **Choose Member or Admin.** Use Admin for people who manage the installation.
3.  **Deliver the temporary password securely.** It is shown once. Give the person the installation URL too.
4.  **Ask them to sign in and replace the password.** Then grant access to the resources they need.

## Create a company team

Use Teams in the administration site to group people, such as Engineering or Platform. Add members, then grant the team access to a directory. Membership and resource access are separate settings.

## Reset a password

Use the person’s action menu in People. A reset replaces their password and ends their sign-in sessions. Share the new temporary password securely; the person must replace it at the next sign-in.

**An Admin is not the owner of everything**

An organization administrator manages people and installation settings. That role does not automatically reveal another person’s private resources.
