# Add and Manage Beacon Users
> Add users to a GoGuardian Beacon deployment, update their permissions and notification preferences, and remove users when needed.
Super Users and Super Counselors can add users to a Beacon deployment. Before adding a user, the user must have an existing GoGuardian account in your organization and have Beacon access enabled for their account. For instructions on creating and managing accounts, see [Create and Manage User Accounts](/products/org-management/create-manage-user-accounts).
If a user's name does not appear in the search list when you attempt to add them, they may not have a GoGuardian account in Org Management or may not have Beacon access enabled.
## Add a User to Beacon
1. Go to **Settings** from the navigation menu, then select **Users**.
2. Under **Add New User**, enter the user's email address.
3. Click **Add User**.
4. Optionally, enter the user's cell phone number and turn on text message notifications.
5. Click **Save Changes**.
After a user is added, you have the option to send them a welcome email with information about the Beacon deployment.
Text and email notifications are only sent to users on the Escalation List.
## Edit an Existing User
Super Users can edit any user's permission level, phone number, and notification preferences.
1. Go to **Settings** from the navigation menu, then select **Users**.
2. Click **Edit** next to the user's name.
3. Update any of the following:
* **Cell Phone Number**
* **Permissions**
* **Notification Preferences**
4. Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page.
Each user can also edit their own cell phone number and text message notification preferences under the **Your Beacon Profile** setting.
## Remove a User from Beacon
Super Users and Super Counselors can remove users from a Beacon deployment. Removing a user from Beacon does not delete their account from Org Management.
1. Go to **Settings** from the navigation menu, then select **Users**.
2. Click **Edit** next to the user's name.
3. Scroll down, then click **Delete User**.
To fully disable a user's account, contact your Super User.
