We have a few questions about the user workflows as described on [https://projectdabl.com/docs/api/iam/#listening-for-new-users](https://projectdabl.com/docs/api/iam/#listening-for-new-users). Our plan was that a user logs in, and then chooses which party (or sort of party / role) they want to be. E.g. they log in and say what their job is. The important part is that every (user, role) pair should have their own DAML party — multiple parties per user. However the docs at [https://projectdabl.com/docs/api/iam/](https://projectdabl.com/docs/api/iam/) seem to imply that a user logging in from DAML/hub gets one party. Is what we want to do possible? ---

Is there something specific you’re looking to get out of the separation of users into individual `Party`'s by role? I’d liken that to needing a separate login for mini-apps within the same platform, and that could greatly limit the user’s flexibility in reasoning about models _across_ roles that they otherwise have access to. It is possible to have multiple parties associated with the same user; you can create additional parties through the `Add Party` on the console. It’s unfortunately not that well-integrated into the login process, though, so users would have to acquire JWTs for specific parties by logging into the Daml Hub console and “picking” a party there. A good use case for a single user having multiple parties is one where a user wishes to place a rigid boundary. Using DABL Chat as an example, a user might choose to create multiple “accounts” for the same reason someone might want more than one Twitter handle; but the parties are not created solely for rights segmentation purposes. ---

Thanks @dtanabe. I plaid around with the chat app on DAML/hub and saw the things you are referring to. ---

@Ericson2314 if you happen to be doing this in order to implement role-based access control, you may want to take a look at use case 2 in [Roles in Daml - Introducing Multi-party submissions - Daml](https://daml.com/blog/engineering/roles-in-daml-introducing-multi-party-submissions/)
