2. In the side menu, select **User Management > Departments**.
3. In the **Departments** report, on the top bar, click **+Add** from the dropdown menu.
4. In the **Department** window, fill in the fields:
  1. **Name**: name of the department.
  2. **Status**: indicates the state of the department. Can be **Enabled** or **Disabled**.
  3. **Responsible**: select from the drop-down menu the user who will be responsible for the department.
5. Click **Confirm**.

## **Modify a department**

1. On Segura, in the upper-left corner, click the **Grid Menu**, represented by nine squares, and select **Settings**.
2. In the side menu, select **User Management > Departments**.

Note that no department is actually deleted from the instance; it becomes inactive.

2. In the side menu, select **User Management > Departments**.
3. On the top bar, select **No** in the **Enabled** drop-down menu and click **Filter**. This action will filter the inactive departments in the instance.
4. In the **Departments** report, identify the department you want to reactivate and in the **Action** column, click on the three vertical dots and select **Edit**, represented by the pencil and paper icon, from the dropdown menu.
5. In the **Department** window, select **Enabled** in the **Status** option.
