{% if include.ui %} Docker Universal Control Plane provides built-in authentication and also integrates with LDAP directory services.

To enable LDAP and manage users and groups from your organization's directory, go to Admin > Admin Settings > Authentication and Authorization. [Learn how to integrate with an LDAP directory] (../configure/external-auth/index.md).

{% if include.version=="ucp-3.0" %} To use UCP built-in authentication, you must manually create users. New users are assigned a default permission level so that they can access the cluster. You can optionally grant them UCP administrator permissions.

To create a new user in the UCP web UI:

1. Navigate to the Users page.
2. Click Create User.
3. Input username, password, and full name.
4. Click Create.
5. [optional] Check "Is a Docker EE Admin".
