+# Creating users **(CORE ONLY)**
+
+You can create users:
+
+- Manually through the sign in page or Admin Area.
+- Automatically through user authentication integrations.
+
+## Create users on sign in page
+
+If you have [sign-up enabled](../../admin_area/settings/sign_up_restrictions.md), users can create their own accounts using the **Register** tab on the sign in page.

+
+## Create users in admin area
+
+As an admin user, you can manually create users by:
+
+1. Navigating to **Admin Area > Overview > Users** (`/admin/users` page).
+1. Selecting the **New User** button.
+
+You can also [create users through the API](../../../api/users.md) as an admin.

+
+## Create users through integrations
+
+Users will be:
+
+- Automatically created upon first login with the [LDAP integration](../../../administration/auth/ldap.md).
+- Created when first logging in via an [OmniAuth provider](../../../integration/omniauth.md) if the `allow_single_sign_on` setting is present.
