  "content": "\n## Prerequisites\n\nBefore you create other users:\n\n1. Review the [access control overview](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control) to learn how to use role-based access control (RBAC) to manage users' cluster access and database access.\n\n1. Create roles you can assign to users. See [Create roles with cluster access only](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control/create-cluster-roles), [Create roles with database access only](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control/create-db-roles), or [Create roles with combined access](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control/create-combined-roles) for instructions.\n\n## Add users\n\nTo add a user to the cluster:\n\n1. From the **Access Control \u003e Users** tab in the Cluster Manager UI, select **+ Add user**.\n\n    ![Add role with name](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rs/access-control-user-panel.png)\n\n1. Enter the name, email, and password of the new user.\n\n    ![Add role with name](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rs/access-control-user-add.png)\n\n1. Assign a **Role** to the user to grant permissions for cluster management and data access.\n\n    ![Add role to user.](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rs/access-control-user-role-select.png)\n\n1. Select the **Alerts** the user should receive by email:\n\n    - **Receive alerts for databases** - The alerts that are enabled for the selected databases will be sent to the user. Choose **All databases** or **Customize** to select the individual databases to send alerts for.\n    \n    - **Receive cluster alerts** - The alerts that are enabled for the cluster in **Cluster \u003e Alerts Settings** are sent to the user.\n\n1. Select **Save**.\n\n## Assign roles to users\n\nAssign a role, associated with specific databases and access control lists (ACLs), to a user to grant database access:\n\n1. From the **Access Control \u003e Users** tab in the Cluster Manager UI, you can:\n\n    - Point to an existing user and select ![The Edit button](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rs/buttons/edit-button.png#no-click) to edit the user.\n    \n    - Select **+ Add user** to [create a new user](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control/create-users).\n\n1. Select a role to assign to the user.\n\n    ![Add role to user.](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rs/access-control-user-role-select.png)\n\n1. Select **Save**.\n\n## Next steps\n\nDepending on the type of the user's assigned role (cluster management role or data access role), the user can now:\n\n- [Connect to a database](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/connect) associated with the role and run limited Redis commands, depending on the role's Redis ACLs.\n\n- Sign in to the Redis Enterprise Software Cluster Manager UI.\n\n- Make a [REST API](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/rest-api) request.\n",
