This guide has information about how to create and manage Sumo Logic users. In Sumo Logic, an administrator controls access to capabilities and data by assigning capabilities and search filters to roles, and then assigning users to roles. For more information, see [Role-Based Access Control](/docs/manage/users-roles/roles/role-based-access-control/).

:::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).
:::

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

[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). To access the Users page, in the main Sumo Logic menu select **Administration > Users and Roles > Users**. 

In this section, we'll introduce the following concepts:
