You can create new user accounts in Khaos Control to control who can access the system and what actions they can perform.

Configure User Permissions
Once the user has been created:

- Right-click the user record.
- Select User Permissions.

Permissions determine which areas of Khaos Control the user can access and what actions they can perform.
Assign a User Profile
User profiles allow you to apply a predefined set of permissions and settings to multiple users.
- Right-click the user record.
- Select User Profiles.
- Assign the appropriate profile to the user.
Using profiles can help ensure consistency across users with similar roles.
Additional Information

- Permissions can be assigned individually or through a user profile.
- User profiles are useful when multiple users require the same access settings.
- You can adjust permissions and profiles at any time if a user's role changes.
