# Users

Users can be managed locally, or via the identity provider (Idp), while assigned with [access rules](https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/infrastructure-setup/authentication/accessrules) to manage permissions. For example, user **<user@domain.com>** is a **department admin** in **department A**.

## Users Table

The Users table can be found under **Access** in the NVIDIA Run:ai platform.

The users table provides a list of all the users in the platform.\
You can manage users and user permissions (access rules) for both local and [SSO users](https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/infrastructure-setup/overview#single-sign-on-sso).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Single Sign-On Users**

SSO users are managed by the identity provider and appear once they have signed in to NVIDIA Run:ai.
