# Create user relations

A user relation links a user to one or more assets using a relation type, adding context about how people use your assets. For example, you can record which laptop a person uses or which assets they're responsible for.

You can create user relations for any user in your inventory, including users synced from Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

## Prerequisites

- A relation type that fits the relationship you want to record. To create or manage relation types, see [Manage asset relation types](/docs/asset-relations).
- The **Create relations between assets and users** permission. If you don't have it, contact your site administrator.

## Create a user relation

1. Go to **Users** > **Views** and locate the user you want to create a relation for.
2. Hover over the user's name, then select **Go to user** to open their overview page.
3. Select **Create relation**.
4. Select one or more assets to relate to the user.
5. Select a **Relation type**.
6. Optionally, set a start date and an end date. If you don't set a start date, the relation takes effect immediately.
7. Select **Create**. The relation is applied right away, with no separate save step.
