Users are typically added through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory integrations. Admins can also manually add users to the instance, enable self-registration for new users, and impersonate users to ensure
that they have the proper access privileges.

For more information on LDAP integrations, see [LDAP integration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_LDAPIntegration&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).
* **[Create a user](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/thbYJONgwTZEEp6vKKQOxw)**   
  You can add a user to your instance to enable them to log in and use designated application features.
* **[User self-registration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5_mJBsX8M3RDLXciNpy1rA#c_UserRegistration)**   
  The User Registration Request \[com.snc.user_registration\] plugin provides the ability for unregistered users to request access to a ServiceNow instance. An administrator can activate the plugin.
