# Adding users
There are two ways of adding users to your instance to get the ball rolling.
## Notes before starting
Please note that both of these involve **local** users, and not **remote** users.
## Instructions
### Allow registration
To allow registration:
1. Login to your instance as your admin user
2. Go to **Admin**
3. Click on **Misc settings**
4. Look for **Registration mode**.
5. Either set the choice to **Open** or **Require Application**
### Registering
After registration is set to open/require application, the common user flow is to
navigate to your instance and click **Register**.
### Disabling ReCAPCHA
If you ensure your `.env` file has empty values for `RECAPTCHA3_PUBLIC_KEY` and
`RECAPTCHA3_PRIVATE_KEY`, then you can bypass the ReCAPCHA step. The only problem is
you will need to ensure the users email address is verified, and this may be a hassle.
## Admin screen
1. Login to your instance as your admin user
2. Go to **Admin**
3. Click **Users**
4. Click the **Add local user** button.
5. Fill in the details
6. Ensure you click **Email address is verified**.
Once you've set all the details and save, the user is now accessible.
