==Creating New Player Accounts==
Once a new player has passed their interview, they will need a [[FoundryVTT]] account. To generate an account for this user, follow these steps:
# Log in to your GM account.
# Click on the 'Game Settings' tab.
# Click the 'User Management' button.
# Click 'Create Additional User'. A new user named "Player##" will be added to the bottom of the list.
# Edit the new user's name to match their ''username'' in Discord. This can be found underneath their nickname on their Discord profile.
# Generate a secure password for the user and type it into the 'Password' box.
# Make sure their 'User Role' is set to 'Player'. It should do this automatically.
# Use the steps in [[Character_Approval_Checklist#Creating_a_Sheet_for_a_New_PC|Creating a Sheet for a New PC]] to generate a blank character sheet for them.
# Direct message the player their log in information (Username and Password) and let them know they're good to go!

==Creating New GM Accounts==
New GMs need a second account with GM permissions. To generate the account, follow these steps:
# Follow steps 1-4 above.
# Edit the User Name to be "DM" + the name they commonly go by. For example, DM Dag or DM Foster.
# Scroll up to the user's Player account and copy their current password.
# Paste the password into the 'Password' box. The user's GM and Player accounts should have the same password.
# Change their 'User Role' to 'Assistant GM'. '''Do not make them a 'Game Master'.'''
# Direct message the new GM their log in information.

==Removing Accounts==
If for whatever reason a player or GM needs to lose access to their account (due to a ban, etc.), their access can be easily removed by following these steps:
# Go to the User Management page.
# Find the user that needs to be deleted.
# Click the delete/trash can icon on the far right.
# Confirm.
