# Manage Users in Symphony
Symphony provides the management controls necessary to create users and manage user access of Symphony. Authorization for users to use product features and functions is controlled by the privileges, permissions, and attributes that are assigned to users, [groups](/logi-symphony/symphony/v25/manage_users/manage_user_groups_in_visual_data_discovery), and tenants.
When using SAML single sign-on protocol, users and groups may be automatically provisioned in Symphony (account level synchronization). For more information, see Symphony Supported Authentication Tools.
To add a new user quickly and easily, see [Add New Users](/logi-symphony/symphony/v25/manage_users/add_new_users).
## Edit an Existing User
You can quickly and easily edit a user as an admin by selecting **Users** from the main menu on the [ Symphony home page](/logi-symphony/symphony/v25/navigate/home_page). More advanced changes can be made in the Managed Dashboards module, or the Data Discovery module.
