# Adding Users/Groups Egnyte allows for adding users through the Web UI, via Active Directory, through certain SSO integrations, or through the User Management API ### Adding a user through the Web UI Admins and Power Users can add new users in the Users & Groups tab of Settings. Simply choose to add a new user and fill out the user fields. [Custom user roles](/cloud-storage-platforms/egnyte-overview/users-and-groups/user-roles-and-privleges.md) can be assigned here as well. ### Adding a user through Active Directory Egnyte can integrate with Microsoft Active Directory Service via a downloadable ADKit. Before using this method, Active Directory authentication must be enabled through Egnyte. When this is done, follow the [Active Directory Service Guide](https://productreleases.egnyte.com/dl/W37tiahTQx) to complete the integration which will provide functionality for adding new users. ### Adding a user with an SSO Integration Egnyte can import existing users into Egnyte from certain SSO providers. Currently, these are Okta, Azure AD, ADFS, Ping Identity, and Centrify. Follow [SSO Integrations](/cloud-storage-platforms/egnyte-overview/users-and-groups/sso-integrations.md) to learn how to enable SSO in Egnyte. ### Adding a user through the User Management API The User Management API allows for complete user access including creating, updating, and deleting users. Follow the [guide from Egnyte Developers](https://developers.egnyte.com/docs/User_Management_API_Documentation) to customize user creation via the User Mangement API. ### Adding a Group Admins can add a New group in the Users and Groups section in Settings. Name the group and add users to use the collection of users throughout Egnyte. Groups in Egnyte are simply a collection of users with no inherent permissions of their own, but can be selected in situations such as sharing files and folders. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
