# Demo user account

A demo user account is an account that you can share with potential or existing customers to showcase your product's features. This account has limited rights to prevent customers from making changes to critical settings. For instance, features such as output control, device and sensor configuration, and data forwarding are disabled.

## How to create a demo user

Follow this steps to create and configure a demo user account:

### Create a new user

We recommend creating a specific demo user and cloning devices from other accounts into it. This allows for full operation with original devices. To create a demo user, simply enter a random email address. A real address isn't required.

### Create tracker clones

We recommend cloning devices from existing accounts for the demo user account. Select specific devices that you can safely show to potential or existing customers to avoid any misunderstandings. To clone devices, navigate to the **Trackers** page and select the necessary devices. Then click **Clone selected trackers** in the toolbar.

Alternatively, if only one tracker is selected, you can click **Create clone** in the right side panel.
