## Management

Users can be managed through both the User Interface or [API](/manual/implementation/platform-usage/api-reference/user.md) in an efficient manner.

### LDAP Integration

In addition, the platform supports LDAP configuration for seamless authentication.&#x20;

[LDAP](/manual/implementation/platform-usage/configuration/ldap.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only authentication is managed by a LDAP server.&#x20;

Other properties continue to be configured in the tool.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In our February 2024 update, we introduced a way to better manage user access. \
Now, users added automatically (using Grafana's LDAP integration) won't have full access until they're assigned a specific role. This can be easily set up in the Global Settings Dashboard, giving you more control over access permissions.
