# Add, edit, import, or deactivate user accounts

Client Administrators, can add, edit, import, or deactivate user accounts in Hirevue. Specifically, client administrators can:

* Add/import new user accounts during implementation.
* Add/import users to the system as necessary after implementation.
* Edit users as necessary after implementation.
* Deactivate users who should no longer have access to Hirevue. Users can only be deactivated in Hirevue; they cannot be deleted.

When you add a new user to the system, Hirevue automatically sends them an email with instructions on how to create their password and information to access training resources.

**Note**: If your application is configured to use Single Sign On (SSO), no email will be sent to the user, as they will authenticate via your SSO provider.
