## Adding a person to Home Assistant
If you have administrator rights, you can add other persons to Home Assistant and create them a user account. Depending on the rights you give them, they can then use Home Assistant on their own devices, can have their own dashboards, and be used in automations.
1. Go to {% my people title="**Settings** > **People**" %} and select **Add person**.
2. Enter their **Name**.
3. Add an image if you like.
4. Under **Allow login**, select if they should be able to log in.
- If they cannot log in, they do not get a user account, and they cannot do much with Home Assistant.
- They cannot have their own dashboard, for example.
- But they can still be used for device tracking and show up on a map and be used in automations.
5. If they are able to log in, fill in the user information.
- Check if the user name is correct. A suggestion is made based on the person name. But they do not have to be identical.
- The username is required to log in.
- The person name is the name displayed in the UI.
- Enter a password and store it in a safe location.
- Define if they should have **Local access only**.
- If this is enabled, they won't have access to Home Assistant when they are outside your network, for example from their phone.
- Define if they should have **Administrator** rights.
- Select **Create**.
6. If you have already set up devices for [presence detection](/getting-started/presence-detection/), **select the devices that belong to this person**.

## Configuring the `person` integration via the Home Assistant configuration panel
This integration is by default enabled, unless you've disabled or removed the [`default_config:`](/integrations/default_config/) line from your configuration. If that is the case, the following example shows you how to enable this integration manually:

You can also do this using YAML. By following the instructions on the [customizing entities](/docs/configuration/customizing-devices#entity_picture) page, you can customize the picture used for a person entity in the `customize:` section of your configuration. For example:
```yaml
customize:
person.ada:
entity_picture: "/local/ada.jpg"
