{% hint style="warning" %}
A newly created user cannot view any content or perform any actions without further configuration [-> More information](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/roles/why-are-roles-so-important)&#x20;

Therefore, assign newly created users to a project immediately.
