> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

## Create a user

Suppose a new digital marketer starts working for your company next week. Create a new user, assign them the user role of _Digital Channel Marketer_, and email them an invitation.

> **Note:** Xperience sends invitations to new users, so you need to have Email-sending functionality configured. See our [Email configuration](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/configuration/email-configuration.md) documentation to learn how to set up email sending.
>
> If sending emails fails in your live project, you can retrieve the invitation link from the notification. You can find the notification in the **Email queue** application.

 **Task**:

1. Go to the **Users** application.
2. Select **New user**.
3. Add information about the user:

   1. **New user email**: _lauram@kbank.com._
   2. **Role**: _Digital Channel Manager._
4. **Send** the invitation.

Your Xperience demo website doesn't send any invitations for this exercise.

- To see the invitation email, go to the **Email queue** application and find the user's email in the **To** column, with the subject: "_You have been invited to join_…".
- The **email's body contains a link** to help you finish the new user's registration.
- Open the link in a new anonymous browser tab, create a password for the user, and **Sign up**. (Using an anonymous tab prevents Xperience from switching into this newly created user account from the _Global Administrator_ you use in your main browser.)

If you sign in as the user you've created, you will see only the applications with assigned permissions on the dashboard.

Users and roles are an essential part of Xperience by Kentico administration. By setting them up, you can help everyone focus on their daily jobs.
