# Create Mapp Engage System User

## Goal

To create an account for a system user in Mapp Engage.

## Prerequisites

You have permission 2000 (System Administration: View and edit all system users). If your system role does not have it, contact your Account Manager.

## Background Information

System user accounts are for the individuals who log in to the Mapp Engage user interface or access it via API. Each system user needs a username and a password. When you create the account, Mapp Engage sends the system message SysMsgNewSystemUser with a link to set the password.

## Procedure

1. In the main navigation, click User Management > System Users > System Users.
2. Click Create.
3. Complete the fields (Type, Email Address, First/Last Name, Language, Time Zone, Role, and the options). For a description of each field, see [New System User (window)](/v1/docs/new-system-user-window).
4. Click Save. Mapp Engage confirms the new user and sends the password system message. Alternatively, set a password manually — see [Set Password for a System User](/v1/docs/set-password-for-a-system-user).
