# User Management

All access to MobiusFlow Toolbox and the MobiusFlow Engine API requires a valid username and password. Adding, deleting, and modifying users is done on the User Management tab on the Settings page.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to change your default admin user password or create a new account and delete the default admin account as soon as possible!
{% endhint %}

The User Management page shows a list of all users with their roles, whether they are active or not, and an Actions button for additional user management.

{% hint style="danger" %}
As MobiusFlow is designed to run both online and offline it is not currently possible to retrieve a forgotten password. Make sure you keep your administrator password in a safe location!
{% endhint %}

### Change Password

Change the password of an existing user. This is useful if a user forgets their password or you want to change the password of a [service account](#service-accounts)

### Change Role

Change the role of an existing user

### Active / Deactive User

Users are active by default but can be activated or deactivated. Deactivated users will no longer be able to log in.&#x20;

### Delete User

Permanently delete an existing user. You will need to confirm your action before the user is deleted.

## Service Accounts

Access to the [MobiusFlow Engine API](/help/mobiusflow-v3/mobiusflow-engine-api-v3.md) requires a valid user with the correct role.&#x20;

We recommend creating service account users with the Editor or Viewer role for API access. You should consider a separate account for each service that requires access as revoking access to a specific service can be as simple as deactivating that service account.

{% hint style="info" %}
Flows use the MobiusFlow Engine API to interact with services and objects. You should create a service account to use with Flows
