# Creating users **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
You can create users:
|
|
|
|
- Manually through the sign in page or Admin Area.
|
|
- Automatically through user authentication integrations.
|
|
|
|
## Create users on sign in page
|
|
|
|
If you have [sign-up enabled](../../admin_area/settings/sign_up_restrictions.md), users can create their own accounts by selecting "Register now" on the sign-in page, or navigate to `https://gitlab.example.com/users/sign_up`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Create users in Admin Area
|
|
|
|
As an admin user, you can manually create users by:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigating to **Admin Area > Overview > Users** (`/admin/users` page).
|
|
1. Selecting the **New User** button.
|
|
|
|
You can also [create users through the API](../../../api/users.md) as an admin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Create users through authentication integrations
|
|
|
|
Users will be:
|
|
|
|
- Automatically created upon first sign in with the [LDAP integration](../../../administration/auth/ldap/index.md).
|
|
- Created when first signing in via an [OmniAuth provider](../../../integration/omniauth.md) if the `allow_single_sign_on` setting is present.
|
|
- Created when first signing with [Group SAML](../../group/saml_sso/index.md)
|
|
- Automatically created by [SCIM](../../group/saml_sso/scim_setup.md) when the user is created in the identity provider.
