title: Users endpoints
slug: /api-users
---

Use the `/users` endpoint to manage user accounts in Langflow.

## Add user

Create a new user account with a given username and password.

Requires authentication as a superuser if the Langflow server has authentication enabled.

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/users/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $LANGFLOW_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "username": "newuser2",
    "password": "securepassword123"
  }'
```

The request returns an object describing the new user.
The user's UUID is stored in `user_id` in the Langflow database, and returned as `id` in the `/users` API response.
This `user_id` key is specifically for Langflow user management.
