Autopsy can store and organize account information based on personas, which represent an online identity. A person may have several online identities and therefore several personas. As an example, a single person may have a set of accounts that post online about loving cats and another set of accounts that appear unrelated that post about hating cats.

If no matching persona is found, a "Create" button is shown to create a persona for the account(s). This will bring you to the \ref personas_create "Create Personas" panel with the account(s) already added, assuming the accounts exist in the central repository. If the desired account does not appear, close the personas panel and then copy the account to the clipboard either by highlighting the account and hitting control+c or by right clicking on it and selecting copy. Next go to Tools->Personas to open the Personas Editor, and click "Create Account". Paste in the account and select the type, then OK. Now close the editor and click "Create" again. The account should now be auto-populated.
