# Creating users **(FREE SELF)**
You can create users:
- Manually through the sign in page or Administrator 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 by either:
- Selecting the **Register now** link on the sign-in page.
- Navigating to `https://gitlab.example.com/users/sign_up`.

## Create users in Admin Area
As an Administrator user, you can manually create users:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Overview > Users** (`/admin/users`).
1. Select **New user**.
You can also [create users through the API](../../../api/users.md) as an administrator.

## Create users through authentication integrations
Users are:
- Automatically created upon first sign in with the [LDAP integration](../../../administration/auth/ldap/index.md).
- Created when first signing in using an [OmniAuth provider](../../../integration/omniauth.md) if
the `allow_single_sign_on` setting is present.
- Created when first signing with [Group SAML](../../group/saml_sso/index.md).
- Automatically created by [SCIM](../../group/saml_sso/scim_setup.md) when the user is created in
the identity provider.
