# Admin setup

> Set up users and roles, offices, fleets, and the permissions each person needs before anyone creates a load.

Create the people who will use Alvys, put them in the right office, give them a role, and stand up the fleets those people will dispatch against. There is no single admin setup screen — complete the articles below in order.
