# Manage virtual data center users

When a virtual data center is created, a user with the administrator role is created automatically. You can [create additional users](#create-user) and [grant them access to virtual data centers](#grant-user-access-to-vdc).

## Create a user \{#create-user}

2. Log in to Cloud Director with an administrator account. You can view administrator details and reset the password in the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vmware/): **VMware-based Cloud** → **Users**.
3. Open the **Administration** tab.
4. Go to **Access Control** → **Users**.
5. Click **New**.
6. Enter the username, password, and user role. A user with the Organization Administrator role always has access to all organization data centers.
