# Creating Privileged User Accounts

Administrators can create new user accounts in the **Local User Accounts** under the **Basic Configuration** section. After at least one Data Guardian has been defined, then **Solar Archive** local user accounts can be created. Every user has a user account that identifies the user, and the user account settings determine the permissions / privileges of the user.

**Privileged Users** are also called e-Discovery Users, are users who are able to search across the archives and do their e-discovery investigations. This user can search across all emails in that **Solar Archive** system (or that **Solar Archive** company, when in multi-tenant mode) unless one or more searchable domains are added. Any searches made by Privileged users will raise an audit transcript that is sent to the Data Guardian(s).

1. Navigate to **Basic Configuration** > **Local User Accounts**.
2. Click the **Create New Account** button.
3. Enter / Select the required values in the fields. 
4. Review all the values that you have entered / selected and click **Save Changes**.
