# Creating users

Using a dedicated action node in combination with the right permissions, client users can create additional users and assign roles from within an app.

**Tip**

You often need to create multiple users for yourself with various roles in order to test your apps thoroughly. Since each user requires a unique email address we recommend using *email aliases*.

Many email providers support aliases so that you can create unique email addresses which forward to your primary address.

In [Gmail/Google Workspace](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308648?hl=en) for example, an email sent to <amanda+admin@3050labs.com> will be forwarded to <amanda@3050labs.com>.
