# Users

Voximplant users are essential for authorizing your **web** or **mobile SDK** applications, **SIP clients**, to make and receive calls, and use messaging functionality.

## How to create a user

You can create a user through the [Voximplant control panel](https://manage.voximplant.com/) or by executing the [AddUser](/api-reference/management-api/reference/users/add-user) **management API** method.

To create a user in the control panel, navigate to the **Applications** section and select the appropriate [application](/platform/voxengine/applications). Then, move to the **Users** section and click the **Create a user** button in the upper right corner (or in the middle of the screen if your app does not have any users):

This opens a **New user editor**:

In this editor, specify the username, password, and display name for your new user. Click **Create** to save the changes. If you intend to create multiple users, check the **Create another** checkbox, which will open a new editor for each user.

> **Note**
>
> You can disable the **active** checkbox to make a user inactive. Inactive users cannot log in to the application.

> **Note**
>
> You can set up a user to have a **separate balance account** to manage expenses.

## Frequently asked questions

#### I need to create an application for a customer with a separate account balance. How can I do it?

You can create a new application and a user with a separate account balance within this application. If you want to give this customer full access to the application, you can create a [child account](/platform/management-api/child-accounts) for this customer.
