You can add a database user by navigating to **DataHub **> **DB Users**.

**Important**: Influx uses admin, user, and observer as default users. You cannot use these usernames when creating a new user. Therefore, you can add users using their username when creating a database user.
:::

**To add a database user:**

1. Navigate to **DataHub ***> ***DB Users**. 
2. Click the **Add** (**+**) icon.
   The *Add User* dialog box appears.
