# Activate a User
Once an administrator creates a new internal user, the user must activate their account before accessing emSigner.
#### **Activation Process**
The new user receives an email containing the login URL, username, and a temporary password.
They click the login URL, enter their username, and provide the one-time password (OTP) sent to their registered email.
After verification, the system redirects them to the password setup page, where they must create a new password that meets the predefined strength requirements.
Once the password is set, the account is activated, and the user can log in with their new credentials.
#### **Post-Activation Access**
After activation, the user can log in anytime using their username and password, with access determined by the roles and permissions assigned by the administrator.
