# Creating a New User, Secondary CIAM

To create a user in PeakCommerce, it is important to first create the user in your CIAM platform. This allows the information to be seamlessly passed to PeakCommerce.

If PeakCommerce is your primary CIAM platform, please refer to the article "Creating a new user in PeakCommerce" for detailed instructions.

To help you connect with our CIAM platform, Auth0, we have compiled a list of informative articles. Please note that these articles are external links that will redirect you to the Auth0 website.

* [SAML SSO with Auth0 as Service Provider and as an Identity Provider](https://auth0.com/docs/protocols/saml/samlsso-auth0-to-auth0)
* [Configure Okta for use with Auth0 as a SAML Identity Provider](https://auth0.com/docs/protocols/saml/identity-providers/okta)
* [Integrate Auth0 with Amazon Cognito](https://auth0.com/docs/integrations/integrating-auth0-amazon-cognito-mobile-apps)
* [Set Up an ADFS SAML Connection](https://auth0.com/docs/protocols/saml/adfs)

However, when creating Global, System, or Partner admin users, those user will reside in Peak's database rather than with your own CIAM/IdP.
