# Creating a customer account

Creating an account for a customer allows you to configure and manage the account without the need for customer-side administrators.

## About this task

You can add administrators after you create the account. See [Assign administrative roles](p14e_assign_administrative_roles.html) for more information.

When creating a customer account, enter profile information for the new customer. You can also connect the account to an identity repository.

Unlike [Inviting a new customer](p14e_invite_new_customer.html), no email invitation is sent to the customer when creating an account in this way. This gives you the option to coordinate with the customer when and how you choose.

## Steps

1. Go to **Customers > Customers**.

2. Click **[icon: plus, set=fa]Create Account**.

3. Enter an **Account Name**.

4. **Optional:** Add an **MSP ID**.

   This is a unique identifier you can use for this customer within the context of your service as the managed service provider.

5. Select a region from the **Data Center Region** list.

6. Click **Done**.

7. **Optional:** If you want to select an identity repository for this customer, click **Yes, Enter Account**.

   You have Support Admin access to this account. For more information on administrative roles, see [Assign administrative roles](p14e_assign_administrative_roles.html). For more information on connecting to an identity repository, see [Connecting to an identity repository](p14e_connecting_idp.html).

8. After you configure the account, click **Exit** in the blue band at the top of any window to return to the **Customers** window.
