## Sign in or sign out an existing user

You can toggle the state of an existing user by clicking the checkbox in the **SIGN-IN** column.

Signing out a user will automatically sign out all guest accounts associated with that user. Signing out a guest user will remove the guest user only from the user list.

## Remove a user from the console

To remove a user from the console, click **Remove** in the **ACTIONS** column. This removes the user from the list of users in the **Test Accounts** section and from the list of users on the console itself.

## Set a default user

To set a default user, click **Auto Sign-in** in the **ACTIONS** column for the user. Setting the default user causes that user to automatically sign in each time the console boots. The default user has a check mark next to the **Auto Sign-in** action in the **ACTIONS** column.

## Sort the user list

To sort the user list, click the **Email**, **Gamertag**, or **XUID** column headers.

<a id="ID4EWE" />

## Maximum number of users

There is a limit of 16 signed-in users on a console. This total includes all users and all guests. The **Add User** and **Add Guest** buttons will be grayed out when this limit is reached.
