# Adding users

Each member of your team who will be contributing to your DPG-powered event should have their own login.

Those who already have a DPG account are added using their username, while brand new users can be invited to DPG using their email. Before starting, make sure you have their usernames or emails to hand. 

### Log in to Accounts
> ⚠️ **Warning:** If you're not the owner of the account, you need to be added to the account and have the **User management** permissions enabled for your own username before you can add others. The account owner can control all the user permissions by logging into Accounts.
