# User Management
Managing user access in Astera Cloud Portal is user-centric and allows you to efficiently control who can access your cloud resources. This guide will walk you through the process of managing users in your Organization.
### User Management
1. Let's begin by navigating to the *User Management* section in your Astera Cloud Portal.\
Here, you'll see the *User Management* interface displaying existing users and their roles
2. To add a new user to your portal, click on the *Invite User* button.
3. The *Add User* pop-up will appear. Here, you'll need to provide the following information:
* Email Address: Enter the email address of the user you want to invite
* Role Assignment: You can assign one of two roles to the new user:
* Admin: Provides full administrative access to the portal, including the ability to manage other users, access all resources, and modify settings
* User: Provides standard user access with limited administrative privileges
* Click *Send Invite* to send an invitation email to the new user. A success message will appear notifying if the email was sent successfully.
The user will now be able to accept the invitation and login to this organization.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The invitation is only valid for 3 days, if the user could not accept the invitation within the time limit, then you can resend the invitation.
{% endhint %}
### Managing Invitations
After sending an invitation, you can monitor the status of your invites in the *Invited* section.
The interface displays several important details about each user:
* Email: The user's email address
* Roles: Displays the assigned role (Admin or User)
* Status: Shows whether the user is *Active*, *Accepted* or *Cancelled*
* Active: The invitation has been sent but not yet accepted
* Accepted: The user has accepted the invitation and can access the portal
* Cancelled: The invitation for the user has been cancelled
* Actions:
* Cancel Invitation: Cancel an invitation here.
* Resend Invitation: Resend an invitation here
### Managing Existing Users
Once users have accepted their invitations and are part of your organization, an *Admin* can manage their access and roles as needed in the *Users* section.
In the *Actions* column for each active user, you'll find a menu with the following options:
* Delete: Permanently removes the user from the organization
* Deactivate: Temporarily disables the user's access without removing them
* Make Admin: Promotes a regular user to admin role
