# Local Users

## What is it for?

**Local Users** is the list of Wi-Fi accounts you created by hand in the panel (accounts created on the [New User](/books/guests/page/new-user) screen and Staff WiFi accounts). Here you find accounts, block or delete them, or change their password and group.

## When do I use it?

- You want to see the staff or special guest accounts you created.
- You want to renew an employee's password or change their group.
- You want to close or delete the account of someone who left.

## Step by step

1. In the left menu open **Guests** and click **Local Users**. To create a new account use the **New User** button at the top of the page. ![Local Users and New User button](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-lu-menu-en.png)
2. Find the account with the **Search...** box. Use the buttons at the end of the row: yellow **Disable User**, red **Delete User**, blue **Edit User**. Password and group are changed on the **Group and Password** tab of the edit screen (see [SMS / WhatsApp Users](/books/guests/page/sms-whatsapp-users), steps 4 and 5). ![Local user list and row buttons](https://help.useroam.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/mz-lu-liste-en.png)

## Frequently asked questions

**Why are my bulk-created users not here?**  
Bulk users are listed separately: [Bulk Users](/books/guests/page/bulk-users).

**Where do I see these users' connection history?**  
On the [Local User Report](/books/analytics-and-reports/page/local-user-report) screen.

**Does deleting a Staff WiFi account also close its certificate?**  
No, deleting the account does not revoke the certificate. To close the employee's access for certain, first press **Revoke** on the [Staff WiFi](/books/staff-wi-fi-administration/page/certificates-and-staff) screen.
