# How do I add users?

Learn how to add users to your account using the AvaTax UI or the CreateUsers API.

You can use one of the following methods to create a user:

-   Add users via the AvaTax UI. Refer to [this article](https://help.avalara.com/Avalara_AvaTax_Update/Add_a_user_and_set_permissions) for more information.
-   Use the [CreateUsers API](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/methods/Users/CreateUsers/) to add users to your account. Be sure to set the appropriate `securityRoleId` for each user. Below is an example request.

```
[
  {
    "id": 12345,
    "accountId": 123456789,
    "companyId": 123456,
    "userName": "bobExample",
    "firstName": "Bob",
    "lastName": "Example",
    "email": "bob@example.org",
    "postalCode": "98110",
    "securityRoleId": "AccountUser",
    "passwordStatus": "UserCanChange",
    "isActive": true
  }
]
