# Setup - Users

PhreeBooks user accounts allow for individualized access to the PhreBooks modules. User accounts are used in the audit log, setting access permissions, and permissions for reports.

When the PhreeBooks systems is installed, a single administrator account is added given full permission to access all of the PhreeBooks functionality. New users can be added and thier access can be controlled to modules that they are given permission to access. If No Access is given to a function, the option will not appear in their menu when they log in.
