These topics have information about creating and managing Sumo Logic roles and users. In Sumo Logic,  an administrator controls access to capabilities and data by assigning capabilities and search filters to roles, and then assigning user to roles. For more information, see [Role-Based Access Control](/docs/manage/users-roles/roles/role-based-access-control/).

[**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui/). To access the Users and Roles page, in the main Sumo Logic menu select **Administration**, and then under **Users and Roles** select either **Users** or **Roles**. You can also click the **Go To...** menu at the top of the screen and select **Users** or **Roles**. 
 
[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). To access the Users and Roles page, in the main Sumo Logic menu select **Administration > Users and Roles**. 

:::note
To manage users and roles, you must have the Administrator role or your role must have been assigned the [Manage Users and Roles capability](/docs/manage/users-roles/roles/role-capabilities/#user-management).
