# Adding a superuser

Superuser are the global administrators on your instance. They can access all accounts, priviliged sections of the system, and apply instance wide configurations. By default your Cobrowse Enterprise instance will not have any superusers configured.

To add a superuser, you must configure them as part of the infrastructure deployment.

### Configuring superusers via Terraform

For Terraform based deployments you need to add a "superusers" entry to the `terraform.tfvars.json` that is created by our configuration utility. The value should be a regular expression that describes superuser emails. For example, `.*@example.com` would make all example.com users superusers.

```javascript
// This would make the single user myadmin@example.com a superuser
{
    "superusers": "myadmin@example.com"
}
```

### Configuring superusers via Docker Compose

For Docker Compose based deployments, you must configure the `SUPERUSERS` environment variable with a regular expression describing superuser emails. See the docs for [Docker Compose docs](/enterprise-self-hosting/docker-compose.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cobrowse.io/enterprise-self-hosting/getting-started/adding-a-superuser.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
