# Add users, departments, and roles

Agent Mission Control user guide > Administration

> Invite people, organize work into departments, and grant governance roles.

**Who can do this:** Tenant Admin. Granting Super Admin or Tenant Admin: Super Admin.

## Add a user

1. Go to **Settings > Users** and select **Add User**.
2. Enter **Full name** and **Email address**. The email is the person's sign-in identity and can't be changed later.
3. Choose a base **Role** (Admin or Manager). This is a label only.
4. Save. Then grant a governance role so the person can do anything.

## Grant or revoke a governance role

1. In **Settings > Users**, select **Manage** in the person's **Governance Roles** column.
2. Select **Add role**, choose the **Role**, and for Department Manager pick the departments.
3. Optional: add a reason. Select **Grant role**.

To revoke, remove the role and enter a reason; revoking always requires one.

- A person must sign in once before they can be granted a role.
- Super Admins grant Super Admin and Tenant Admin. Tenant Admins grant Department Manager.
- You can't remove your own Super Admin role, and the last Super Admin can't be removed.
- Every grant and revoke is written to the audit log.

## Create a department

1. Go to **Settings > Departments** and select **Add department**.
2. Enter a **Department name**.
3. Use **Add a workflow** to assign workflows, and **Add a department manager** to assign managers.
4. Select **Save changes**.

Creating the first department turns on budgets, overrides, and the Governance page. You can also assign someone to departments from the **Departments** column in **Settings > Users**.

## Deactivate a user

In **Settings > Users**, select **Deactivate user** on the person's row. They're refused at sign-in and signed out everywhere. Select **Reactivate user** to restore access with the roles they still hold. You can't deactivate yourself, and only a Super Admin can deactivate a Super Admin or Tenant Admin.
