# Creating Users with the EMS Administration Tool

In this example, you will create topics and users using the EMS Administration Tool. You must first start the EMS server before starting the EMS administration tool.

Follow these steps to start the EMS server and to use the administration tool to create two new users.

Note: All of the parameters you set using the administration tool in this chapter can also be set by editing the configuration files described in Configuration Files. You can also programmatically set parameters using the C, .NET, or Java APIs. Parameters set programmatically by a client are only set for the length of the session.

## Procedure

1. Start the EMS server
   Start the EMS server as described in Starting and Stopping the EMS Server.
2. Start the Administration Tool and Connect to the EMS Server
   1. Start the EMS administration tool as described in Starting the EMS Administration Tool.
   2. After starting the administration tool, connect it to the EMS server.

      To connect the EMS administration tool to the EMS server, execute one of the following commands:

   - If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Message Service on a single computer, type connect in the command line of the Administration tool:

     > `connect`

     You will be prompted for a login name. If this is the first time you’ve used the EMS administration tool, follow the procedure described in When You First Start tibemsadmin.

     Once you have logged in, the screen will display:

     connected to `tcp://localhost:7222 tcp://localhost:7222`>

   - If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Message Service in a network, use the connect server command as follows:

     > `connect` [server URL] [user-name] [password]

     For more information on this command, see `connect`.

     For further information on the administration tool, see Starting the EMS Administration Tool and Command Listing.

3. Create Users

   Once you have connected the administration tool to the server, use the `create user` command to create two users.

   In the administration tool, enter:

   `tcp://localhost:7222> create user user1`

   `tcp://localhost:7222> create user user2`

   The tool will display messages confirming that `user1` and`user2` have been `created`.

   You have now created two users. You can confirm this with the `show users` command:

   `tcp://localhost:7222> show users`

   `User Name Description`

   `user1`

   `user2`

   For more information on the `create user` command, refer to `create user`.
