This guide walks through a practical setup: add an admin, add a client user, and verify access boundaries.

## Step 1: Open User Management

1. Sign in to Bud Admin.
2. Go to **User Management** from the left navigation.
3. Confirm you have `user:manage` access.

```

## Step 2: Add an Admin User

1. Click **Add User**.
2. Set **User Type** to `admin`.
3. Choose a role (recommended: `developer` for least privilege start).
4. Select module scopes (for example, `project:view`, `model:view`).
5. Save and send the invite.

## Step 3: Add a Client User

1. Click **Add User** again.
2. Set **User Type** to `client`.
3. Assign role according to your organization policy.
4. Save to create the account.

<Info>
  Client users typically operate in project-scoped experiences and do not require full admin module permissions.
</Info>

## Step 4: Verify Access

* Open the user profile and review assigned global scopes.
* Confirm project-level permissions for shared projects.
* Validate status is `active` or `invited` depending on onboarding stage.

## Step 5: Test Authentication

* Have each user sign in.
* Confirm the correct dashboard and feature visibility.
* Validate token refresh and logout behavior in normal usage.
