=== Native user authentication

|
The easiest way to manage and authenticate users is with the internal `native`
|
|
|
|
realm. You can use the REST APIs or Kibana to add and remove users, assign user roles, and
|
|
|
|
manage user passwords.

{security} enables you to easily manage users in {kib} on the
|
|
|
|
*Management / Security / Users* page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can manage users through the `user` API. For more
