Thankfully you don’t, since doing so would become unmanageable at scale! In short, new users are created when someone logs in for the first time. Specifically, it depends on the embedding type:

- In the [standard SSO embed](https://docs.omni.co/docs/embed/external-embedding/setting-up-the-infrastructure#option-1-standard-sso-embed) case, the first successful SSO embed login url that’s used for a given external ID will generate an Omni user associated with that external ID
- In the [2-step SSO embed](https://docs.omni.co/docs/embed/external-embedding/setting-up-the-infrastructure#2-step-embed) case, the first successful `/generate-session` API call will generate the user for a given external ID

As a reminder, you can still add/manage/remove users in the Omni settings as well. Reach out to your Omni contact if any questions come up as you test this out!
