## Add a server-side only user

To give a user access to server-side, you must first add them in the client-side interface. In the client-side interface, you must have the **Manage Users** permission to add users to your account and the **Manage Account** permission to manage permissions in the server-side interface.

To add a user with only permission to a server-side profile, follow these steps:

1. In the client-side interface, add the user, but do not select any client-side permissions.  
The user must verify their email address before you can continue, at which point the user has read-only access to the client-side interface and appears in the **Manage Users** list in the server-side interface.
1. In the server-side interface, go to **Manage Users** and assign permission roles to grant the user access to a server-side profile, then click **Next**.
1. Save your changes.
1. Return to the client-side interface.
1. In the admin menu, click **Manage Users**.
1. In the **User Manager** dialog, select the user you want to remove.
1. Click **More** and select **Remove User**.
1. In the **Remove User** dialog, confirm the user to be removed, then click **Remove User**.  

The user no longer has access to the client-side profile, but retains access to the server-side profile.


## Edit server-side user permissions

To edit server-side user permissions, you must have the **Manage Account** permission, which is assigned from the client-side interface.

Use the following steps to view and edit server-side permissions for a user:

1. Log into the server-side area of the Customer Data Hub.
1. In the admin menu, click **Manage Users**. A list of all server-side users appears, including the user's name, email address, and a timestamp for the last login.
1. Click a user to display the permission details.
1. To grant access to a profile, select a **Permission Role**.
1. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for each user you want to edit.
1. If no changes are needed, click **X** to close the user details and return to the user list.  
You will be prompted to confirm your intention to disregard changes if you have made adjustments.
1. Click **Save** to keep your changes or **Cancel** to discard the changes.  
Your changes are saved without the need to publish.


## Set permissions for future profiles

Use the following steps to set permissions for future profiles, which allows user admins to define a profile-level permission role for users of new profiles created for an account.

1. Log into the server-side area of the Customer Data Hub.
1. In the admin menu, click **Manage Users**.
1. In the **Set permissions for future profiles** list, select a role to be assigned to users of new profiles created for an account.
