# Add a WebDAV user repository

Before you can add a WebDAV repository to a user, you will need to enable the repository and turn on the **Allow users to add a repository instance into the user context** setting in the [site-wide configuration](/totara-20/docs/configure-site-wide-repository-settings) for WebDAV repositories.

1. Go to the **Preferences** page for the user you want to add the repository for.
2. Under **Repositories**, click **Manage instances**.
3. Click **Create "WebDAV repository" instance**.
4. Configure the [settings](/totara-20/docs/webdav-repository-settings).
5. Click **Save**.
