# Users

Users must be assigned to a group. SSO and LDAP users are mapped to a group matching the group name provided by the Idp.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Group name matching is case-sensitive.
{% endhint %}

Multiple types of users can be supported at the same time.

## Adding a user with Basic Authentication

Select `Admin->Users->New User->Basic Auth`.

## Mapping SSO users to groups

By default, users are mapped to the group provided by the SSO provider. If you wish to override the group mapping from your SSO, users can be created directly in Lenses and you can manually map the user to a group.

## Mapping LDAP users to groups

By default, users are mapped to the group provided by the LDAP server. If you wish to override the group mapping you manually map the user to a group.

See [LDAP user group mapping](/latest/devx/5.5/deployment/configuration/iam/authentication/ldap.md#ldap-user-group-mapping).

## Listing Users

Lenses allows you to view users and:

1. Authentication type
2. Groups they belong to
3. Last login

Go to `Admin -> Users.`

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lenses.io/latest/devx/5.5/deployment/configuration/iam/users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
