# How to add a login and account Menu

Login and Account menu options are a part of [Kadence Theme Kit Pro](https://www.kadencewp.com/kadence-theme/premium/).

To add these to your Kadence site’s header, enable **Header Addons** in your Kadence dashboard at Appearance > Kadence.

Click on the **Header** section.

Locate **Account** under Available Items and drag it to your desired position in the header builder.

If you want the Header Account item in the header to link to a specific URL, that can be entered in the **Label/Icon/Image URL** field.

To make a navigation menu appear for your site’s logged-in users when you click on the Account element in the header, click **Select Menu** and pick/create a menu of your choice under the **Logged In Account** location.

To configure the settings for logged out users, click on LOGGED OUT VIEW.
