# Adding and Removing Waterly Users (and changing permissions)
If you are a Supervisor or higher role (Supervisor, Group Admin, or Organizational Admin), you can add, remove, or change users to each of your Waterly Systems.
#### Accessing System Settings
1. Click the Settings "gear" icon in the lower-left corner.
2. Select 'System Settings'.
#### To Add a User
1. Click the "+ INVITE USER" button on the upper right of the screen.
- *Note:* If this button is not visible, you do not have supervisor permissions.
2. Enter the new user's email address
3. Select a role for the new user
- **Read Only**: Can view all data but cannot make changes.
- **Operator**: Has Read-Only privileges, plus can add or edit any data entry (all changes are audited).
- **Supervisor**: Has Operator privileges, plus can add/edit reports, users, systems, sites, metrics, components, processes, and system trends.
4. Click the 'Send Email' button.
- *Note*: They may need to check their SPAM folder. They must accept the invite, and then provide their name, and create a password that meets complexity requirements.
#### Changing User Permissions
1. Navigate to 'System Settings'.
2. Click the 'Role' dropdown next to the user's name.
3. Select the new role to update permissions.
#### To Remove a User
1. Navigate to 'System Settings'.
2. Click the 'Archive User' icon next to the user's details.
3. You will be asked to confirm the archival of the user.
- *Important*: If the user is active in multiple Waterly Systems, repeat this process in each system.
- *Note*: Archiving a user disables their login ability but does not delete their data or audit trail records.
