# User management
This article walks you through the user roles available in Coder and creating and managing users.
## User roles
Coder offers three user roles:
* **Admin**: Has full access to the Coder system, including all workspaces, users, organizations, and templates
* **Member**: Has limited access to Coder; can create workspaces using the templates and resources they have access to
* **Auditor**: Has the same access rights as a **member**, as well as access to
audit logs
## Create a user
To create a user with the web UI:
1. Log in as an admin.
2. Go to **Users** > **New user**.
3. In the window that opens, provide the **username**, **email**, and
**password** for the user (they can opt to change their password after their
initial login).
4. Click **Submit** to create the user.
The new user will appear in the **Users** list. Use the toggle to change their
**Roles** if desired.
To create a user via the Coder CLI, run:
```console
coder users create
```
When prompted, provide the **username** and **email** for the new user.
You'll receive a response that includes the following; share the instructions
with the user so that they can log into Coder:
```console
Download the Coder command line for your operating system:
https://github.com/coder/coder/releases
Run coder login https://<accessURL>.coder.app to authenticate.
Your email is: email@exampleCo.com
Your password is: <redacted>
Create a workspace coder create !
```

Admins can suspend a user, removing the user's access to Coder.
To suspend a user via the web UI:

2. Find the user you want to suspend, click the vertical ellipsis to the right,
and click **Suspend**.
3. In the confirmation dialog, click **Suspend**.
To suspend a user via the CLI, run:
```console
coder users suspend <username|user_id>
```
Confirm the user suspension by typing **yes** and pressing **enter**.
## Activate a suspended user
Admins can activate a suspended user, restoring their access to Coder.
To activate a user via the web UI:
1. Go to **Users**.
2. Find the user you want to activate, click the vertical ellipsis to the right,
and click **Activate**.
3. In the confirmation dialog, click **Activate**.

## Reset a password
To reset a user's via the web UI:
1. Go to **Users**.
2. Find the user whose password you want to reset, click the vertical ellipsis to the right,
and select **Reset password**.

password and click **Reset password**.
Coder will prompt the user to change their temporary password immediately after logging in.
