# Users
A user can be created within Zadara Cloud Services as a member of a single
account. To access and use Zadara Cloud Services, a user must be assigned to
at least one project within that account via a Zadara Cloud
Services role, and assigned at least one Zadara Cloud Services Policy.
## Creating Users
1. Navigate to the **Identity & Access** > **Accounts** view for the specific
account for which you wish to create a user.

display the currently defined users.
3. From the tab toolbar, click **Create User**.

1. **Name** – enter a name. All names in an account must be unique.
It is not case-sensitive.

3. **Password** – enter a password.
A valid password must satisfy the following currently defined rules:

When entering the password, the display on the right will
dynamically indicate when each password rule has been satisfied.

## Deleting Users
When deleting a user, this user will no longer have access to Zadara Cloud
Services. Deleting a user only removes the user from the system. It does not

resources were created.
