# Selecting a Lessee

## Overview

A **lessee** is the party who receives the right to use an asset under the conditions of a lease contract.

In Lucanet Lease Accounting, leases are recorded **separately for each lessee**.

Before you start recording the lease information, you must first select the **reporting entity** for which you want to enter or edit leases as the lessee.

## Selecting a Lessee

To select a lessee, open the **Get started** workspace and use the drop-down list to select the **Reporting entity** for which you want to record leases:

> **Warning:** **Notes**
>
> - To record data in Lease Accounting, a user must be granted access rights to **Lease Accounting** in the **Administration | User Management** area of the **Lucanet CFO Solution Platform** (see [Creating and Editing Users for the CFO Solution Platform](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/administration/user-management.md)).
> - During a user’s **first login**, all the solution’s workspaces – except for **Settings** – will remain hidden until a reporting entity is selected.
> - If a user needs to enter or edit data for several reporting entities, they must take care to select the correct reporting entity under **Get started**.
> - Users can select any reporting entity from the Lucanet.Financial Client that has already been imported into Lease Accounting using the **Reporting entities** workspace (see [Creating and Configuring Reporting Entities](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/basic-configuration-lease-accounting/manage-lessees.md)).
> - The reporting entities can only be used correctly to calculate lease component if all the mandatory fields have been configured (see [Creating and Configuring Reporting Entities](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/basic-configuration-lease-accounting/manage-lessees.md)).
