# Creating a User in Amazon WorkSpaces Applications
<a name="user-pool-admin-create"></a>

You must enter a valid and unique email address for each new user within a Region. However, you can reuse an email address for a new user in another Region.

When you create a new user, be aware of the following:
+ You cannot change the email address, first name, or last name for a user that you have already created. To change this information for a user, disable the user. Then, recreate the user (as a new user) and specify the updated information as needed. 
+ Users' email addresses are case-sensitive. During login, if they specify an email address that doesn't use the same capitalization as the email address specified when their user pool account was created, a "user does not exist" error message displays.
+ You can assign one or more stacks to the user after the user is created.

**To create a new user**

1. Open the WorkSpaces Applications console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/appstream2](https://console.aws.amazon.com/appstream2).

1. In the left navigation pane, choose **User Pool**, **Create User**.

1. For **Email**, type the unique email address for the user.

1. Type the user's first name and last name in the corresponding fields. These fields need not be unique.

1. Choose **Create User**.

After users are created, WorkSpaces Applications sends them a welcome email. This email includes the login portal link, the login email address to be used, and a temporary password. By browsing to the login portal and typing their temporary password, users can set a permanent password to access their applications. 

By default, the new user's status is **Enabled**, meaning you can assign one or more stacks to the user or perform other administrative actions.
