# Adding a Person

You can add new users to ScaffoldIQ. These users can be given a varying level of access in the system, allowing some users to create Requests and Scaffolds whilst other users can only view them.

Subscriber users are assigned to Subscriber Roles, and Viewer users are assigned Viewer Roles. If you want to create a Viewer user, you must select a Viewer-only role.

> [!NOTE]
> You will need to [create User Roles](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/adding-a-user-role) before you can add a person. This includes Viewer Roles - the first user is the Administrator and they do not need to be assigned to a role.

> [!NOTE]
> Note that the number of users you have will be impacted by the number of licences you have. Viewer users do not count to your subcriber count.
