# How to add backoffice users?

Due to security settings, you are only allowed to add users to groups that you belong to yourself. If you have back office "staff" permissions yourself, check how to add this permission for new and existing members of the platform. 

**Add new members of the platform**

To add a new member, go to the side menu and click on 'Users', and on the right on '+ Add member'.

Fill in the details. Select the box 'Staff status' and select 'Staff' in the dropdown. Don't forget to save! The automatic welcome email is sent to the new member.

Go to the tab 'Permissions' \> select the box 'Staffstatus' and select 'Staff' in the dropdown. Don't forget to save!
