Get started with adding users to Kintone.

Unlike the procedure to invite users from the screen that appears the first time you log in or during the free trial period, the procedure described here can be used to add users anytime.

You can add users even if you haven't registered any departments. You can also always add departments later on, after adding users. For details on how to add departments, refer to Adding Departments.

1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of Kintone, then click Users & system administration. The "Users & system administration" screen appears.

2. Click Departments & Users under User Administration.

3. Make one of the selections below, depending on whether or not you want to set a department for the user. (You can also change or set a user's department after adding them.)

   • If you want to set the user's department: Expand the department tree and select a department.
   • If you do not want to set a department for the user: Click Users Not Yet Assigned.
