# How to create users?

In the[ **How to create user lists?**](https://docs.senpiper.com/user-management/managing-users/user-lists/how-to-create-user-lists) section, we learnt how to create a user list where we created a user list called **EMPLOYEE**. Let’s create a user named **John Smith** in the **EMPLOYEE** user list with the following details:

* Email address: <john@gmail.com>
* Phone Number: 9876543210
* Designation: Manager
* Role: Department Head

Let’s add in a condition that the user must be deactivated after 26/08/2021. Let’s begin.

To create a user,

1\.    From the **Studio** dropdown list in the menu bar, click **Manage users**. The **User Lists** screen is displayed.
