# Manage Users and Groups

The users and groups defined in Keep control:

- Who can access Keep.
- Which Keep configurations and capabilities each user can access.

## Manage Keep Users

A Keep user identity includes a user name, password, account settings (such as “bypass login lockout”), role assignments (user or admin), group assignments, and direct access assignments to search and upload configurations.

For information about how to add, edit, and delete users, see [Manage Users](/v1/docs/manage-users).

For information about the various ways to prevent a current user from accessing Keep, see [Remove a User's Access to Lasernet Keep](/v1/docs/remove-a-users-access-to-lasernet-keep).

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> User identities are managed in Keep, unless Keep is configured to use single sign-on (SSO) or LDAP.

## Manage Groups and Subgroups

Groups enable you to manage users on a group basis. For example, you can add users to a group and then assign the group access to a particular search configuration, so that all group members gain access to the search through their group membership.

For more information about adding, managing, and deleting groups and subgroups, see [Manage Groups and Subgroups](/v1/docs/manage-groups-and-subgroups).
