# Add users to Lightup

Before people can join a workspace, they must already have a Lightup app account. If you're an App Admin, you can add new app users and assign them app roles. They'll receive an invitation to join your organization on Lightup. When they accept, they will then be able to login and be available to add to workspaces.

1. In the left nav, select **Admin**.
2. On the main form, select the **Users** tab.&#x20;
3. Select **Add User +**.
