# Creating a WorkSpace from a user already in Active Directory

If your user already has an account in Active Directory, search for their account in ‘[Users](../user-section)’. Select the domain that you are searching if you are using multi-domain.

{% hint style="warning" %}
As with any account you want to assign a WorkSpace to, it must have an email address associated with it. If an account has no email address, it will not show up in this search.
{% endhint %}

Select the user and WorkSpaces Manager will show you if there is no WorkSpace for the user. Click Create WorkSpace.

Now select the [AutoProvision Profile](../configuration-section/ap-profiles) and click Save to create the WorkSpace. You will see confirmation in the top right when creation has started and you will see it in the Task Queue.
