# Add New User

The Add New User feature in the OpenVPN User section is used to create a new OpenVPN user account. This allows administrators to register users who will be able to connect to the VPN service. The following are the steps to Add a New User from the Service Portal Cloudeka:

From the **VPN List Table**, click **More** and select **Configuration** on the VPN that will be managed.

If the OpenVPN configuration is successfully created, the system redirects you to the **OpenVPN Detail** page. A notification appears with the message **"OpenVPN has been successfully created."** The newly created OpenVPN user is displayed in the **OpenVPN User** section, along with its expiration date and available actions.
