# Set User Privileges
Users need appropriate privileges to create Snapshots. The Snapshots has a specific group privilege called **Create Snapshots**. This privilege must be enabled for a group so that the members of this group inherit it through group privilege settings and can create Snapshots.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisite:** Make sure you have one or more **Groups** in the **User Manager**. To create one, see [Create a group](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/set-up-ionos-cloud/management/identity-access-management/user-management#create-a-group).
{% endhint %}
To set user privileges, follow these steps:
1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Management** > **Users & Groups**.
2\. Select the **Groups** tab in the **User Manager** window.
3\. Select the appropriate group to which you want to assign privileges from the list of groups.
4\. In the **Privileges** tab, select **Create Snapshots**.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The privilege to create Snapshots is granted to all the members in the selected group.
{% endhint %}
## Revoke user privileges
To revoke user privileges, follow these steps:
1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Management** > **Users & Groups**.
2\. Choose one of the following options:
Option 1: Remove the User from all the Groups in which the Privilege is Enabled
1\. Select the user from the **Users** tab in the **User Manager** window.
2\. Go to the **Groups** tab, select the group name enabling the privilege, and click **Remove from Group**.
3\. Repeat **step 2** for all the groups where the privilege to be revoked is applied.
Option 2: Remove the Privilege from all the Groups the User Belongs To
1\. Select the **Groups** tab in the **User Manager** window.
2\. Select the **Group Name** in which the privilege to be revoked is applied and the user belongs to this group.
3\. Clear the checkbox against the privilege name.
4\. Repeat steps **2** and **3** for all the groups where the privilege to be revoked is applied.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning:** This option removes the privilege for all the members in the groups from which the privilege is revoked.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To revoke this privilege from a contract administrator, turn off the administrator option on the user account. After performing this action, the contract administrator will become a contract user, and the privileges set up for the user before becoming an administrator will be in effect.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
**Result:** The privilege is successfully revoked.
{% endhint %}
