# Create a New User Account

{% hint style="info" %}
Your Workflow user account or group membership must have the following permissions to create a Workflow user account unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected:

* Users: Create Users
* Users: View Users

See the [Users](https://workflow-docs.antnest.vn/users-and-groups/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups) permissions or ask your Workflow Administrator for assistance.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before creating a new Workflow user account, verify that a user account using the email address you intend for a new user account does not already exist. Workflow user accounts must use a unique email address from all other user accounts to send notifications or emails. If you attempt to create a new Workflow user account with an email address already used for an existing user account, Workflow indicates below the **Email** field.

Furthermore, if you attempt to create a new Workflow user account with an email address that is already used for a deleted user account, Workflow notifies you that a deleted user account uses that email address. Optionally, restore the Workflow user account that uses that email address by clicking **Yes** from the **Deleted User Found** screen. ![](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/gitbook-28427.appspot.com/o/assets%2F-LJ0aNaVW1m7sNsxVJLV%2F-M7HkjJkFThh1FxM8YQV%2F-M7Ihe9AsGqZVzZtRcjL%2FDeleted%20User%20Found%20screen%20-%20Admin.png?alt=media\&token=5227c3ac-d917-42ae-9319-4ffc8e3ca7b2)
