=== 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.

==== Managing native users
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The {stack} {security-features} enable you to easily manage users in {kib} on the
|
|
|
|
|
*Management / Security / Users* page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can manage users through the `user` API. For more
|
|
|
|
|
information and examples, see
|
|
|
|
|
{ref}/security-api.html#security-user-apis[user management APIs].
