As a Meltwater App Administrator, you’re responsible for managing user access to both the Meltwater platform and Meltwater Copilot App. Follow these steps to add and manage your Copilot users:
Before You Begin
Before adding and managing your users, it is important to understand the different access and seat types. Your Meltwater subscription includes access for three user type options:
| 			 User Type  | 						 Application Access  | 						 Seat Type Used  | 		
| 			 Meltwater Platform Only  | 						 Meltwater  | 						 Platform User Seat  | 		
| 			 Meltwater Copilot Only  | 						 Microsoft Teams  | 						 Meltwater Copilot User Seat  | 		
| 			 Both  | 						 Meltwater + Teams  | 						 One seat each (Platform + Copilot)  | 		
Note: You can assign users based on the number of seats purchased for each product.
Adding a New User
To add a new user, follow these steps:
- Select the Account drop-down in the left-hand navigation bar
 - Click Manage Users
 - Select Add User in the top right-hand corner
 
- In the User Details Section, enter the following details:

 - Time Zone
 - Language (Note: Copilot is optimized for the English language only)
 - Workspaces (optional but recommended feature for users of the Meltwater platform. Helps organize projects, data, and collaboration more effectively. Note: Not currently integrated with Copilot, but may be supported in the future.)

Note: This section is for users with platform access and will be disabled if only the Teams application is selected. Learn more about Permissions.

What Happens Next?
Once a user is added:
- Platform-only Users: Receive an email invite to set up their Meltwater login.
