# Creating users **(FREE SELF)**
You can create users:
- [Manually through the sign-in page](#create-users-on-sign-in-page).
- [Manually in the Admin Area](#create-users-in-admin-area).
- [Manually using the API](../../../api/users.md).
- [Automatically through user authentication integrations](#create-users-through-authentication-integrations).
## Create users on sign-in page
Prerequisites:
- [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 your GitLab instance's sign-up link. For example: `https://gitlab.example.com/users/sign_up`.
## Create users in Admin Area
Prerequisites:
- You must have administrator access for the instance.
To create a user manually:
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Overview > Users** (`/admin/users`).
1. Select **New user**.
1. Complete the fields.
1. Select **Create user**.
## 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.
