Creating user accounts manually

You can create a user account manually in SonarQube. In contrast, accounts can be provisioned through an external tool such as GitHub, GitLab, SAML Identity Provider, LDAP service, etc. (For more information, see Authentication and provisioning.). 

You need the global Administer System permission to create user accounts.

To create a user account:

1. In the top navigation bar, go to Administration > Security > Users.
2. Select the Create User button. The Create User dialog opens.
3. In the dialog, enter the Login (user identifier), Name (account's screen name), Email (optional), and Password.
4. If the entered login or email address does not match the user's SCM account login, you can explicitly associate the SCM account with the manual account: see Associating a user with an SCM account.
5. Select Create.
