To enter the User keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

- Type **User**
- Type the shortcut **Us**

## Description

The User keyword is used to log in or to change the user settings.

For more information on users and different settings see [User Setting](/grandma3/2-4/user_settings/).

## Syntax

User \["User\_Name" or User\_Number]

\[Function] User \["User\_Name or User\_Number] (\[Setting] \[Setting\_Value])

## Settings

The User keyword uses a number of settings. Change the settings using the [Set Keyword](/grandma3/2-4/keyword_set/). If a setting has to have a pool object, use the [Assign keyword](/grandma3/2-4/keyword_assign/) to assign an object to the setting.

Here are the settings:
