# Managing Users

You can create users to assign permissions to them to access, back up, and restore data. You can create a single user or multiple users at a time. While creating users, you must assign them to a user group. After you create users, you can choose to invite them to access the Commvault Console. Additionally, you can create users belonging to a different company's domain, known as external users.
