# User Management

A *user* is a known identity with an associated set of data permissions and/or administrative access permissions, which are grouped as *roles*. The user can be a person or a software/hardware agent.

Users are managed using the web-based interface of *Connectware*. You can add or delete users, edit their permissions, and change their password. You can also create or modify *roles* which help you organize and share a set of permissions with multiple users.

For adding user accounts needed for hardware device access, in many cases the [client registry](https://docs.cybus.io/1-10-1/documentation/client-registry) is more suitable instead of manually adding users in the Admin-UI web-interface.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Any Admin-UI user who desires to modify roles or users needs the *admin* role or corresponding permissions.
{% endhint %}
