## Prerequisites

[Create an employee](https://civalgo.gitbook.io/civalgo-docs/~/revisions/98zVhYBZyyDaVmVhbs86/documentation/resources/create-an-employee)

## Invite or create a new user in Civalgo

### Access the settings

1. Click on your company name (top left corner)
2. Select **Users** from the dropdown menu

### Invite a user

Click **Invite a user** (top right button)

### Fill in the user details

1. Select the employee to invite
2. Set their permission level (e.g., Employee, Team Lead, Administrator…)
3. Choose the login method: **Email** or **SMS**
4. ⚠️ Important: the user must log in using the same method selected during the invitation.

### Send the invitation

* **Email**: the user receives a link to activate their account and set a password
* **SMS**: the user can go directly to the app and will receive a login code via text message to sign in

### 💡 Good to know

Once invited, a user automatically gets access to both **Civalgo** and **Logbook**. Just direct them to the right platform based on their role:

* **Logbook**: for field teams
* **Civalgo**: for planning, coordination, and management roles

### 📄 **Need help selecting the right permissions?**

Here’s a guide that summarizes the different permission levels available on the platform:
