# 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](/1-8-0/documentation/client-registry.md) 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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cybus.io/1-8-0/documentation/user-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
