# Create Staff Users

Source: https://sites.veevavault.help/gr/sitevault/sv-administration/staff-create/

**Who can complete this task?**
- Administrators

## Overview

When you create a new SiteVault user for your site, you can choose from a set of system roles and, if needed, additional add-on permissions. See the [About System Roles and Add-on Permissions](/gr/sitevault/sv-administration/roles-perms/) page to learn more about what levels of access these roles and permissions provide.

For full access to the organization’s user administration, Research Organization Administrators (ROA) should also be added as Site Administrators at each site in their organization. ROA users can add users to one or more sites at a time when the research organization is [selected in the vault selector](/gr/sitevault/getting-started/vault-selector/). Site Administrators can only add users to their currently selected site.

For more access information, see [About Roles and Permissions](/gr/sitevault/sv-administration/roles-perms/), or download the [SiteVault Security Matrix](/gr/uploads/sitevault/downloads/SiteVault-Security-Matrix.pdf) or [SiteVault User Access Guide](/gr/uploads/sitevault/downloads/SiteVault-User-Access-Guide.pdf).

## Creating a Staff User

Complete the following steps to create a new Staff user or add an existing Vault Staff user to SiteVault:

1. Access the **Administration \> Staff** tab and select **Create**.
2. Enter and re-enter the user’s email address, then select **Check Email**. 
  - If a user with that email address already exists in your research organization, enter an email address unique to your research organization.
  - If one or more existing Vault user accounts are found, select the appropriate user account.
  - If no Vault user accounts are found, continue creating the user.

3. Complete the **First Name** and **Last Name** fields.
4. Indicate if the user is an investigator.
5. If applicable, complete any SiteVault Enterprise-specific fields: 
  - **User Account Login Method:** Select the appropriate login method.
  - **User Name:** Enter a user name.
  - **Federated ID:** Enter the user’s Federated User ID.

6. Complete the **Create as** field: 
  - Select **Staff with User Account** if the individual is expected to access SiteVault.
  - Select **Staff (No SiteVault Access)** if the individual is not expected to access SiteVault.

7. Select **Next**.
8. Optionally, select any additional sites, then select **Next**.
9. For each site selected, select the user’s [system role and any additional permissions](/gr/sitevault/sv-administration/roles-perms/) (if selecting Site Staff). Use **Apply to All Sites** to apply the selected settings to all sites. To adjust, select a site and make changes. 
  - If the **Create as** field is populated with Staff (No SiteVault Access), then the role Site Staff (No SiteVault access) is selected for all sites.

10. Select **Save**.
