# Set User Privileges for Cross Connect

Users need appropriate privileges to use, modify, and share a Cross Connect. Without necessary privileges, users have a read-only access and cannot provision changes. You can grant appropriate privileges via the **User Manager**.

To allow users to create Cross Connects, follow these steps:

1\. In the DCD, go to **Menu** > **Management** > **Users & Groups**.

2\. Select **Groups** tab in the **User Manager** window.

3\. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

4\. In the **Privileges** tab, select the **Create Cross Connects** checkbox to allow the group members to create and use Cross Connects.
