## [Getting started](https://documentation.immuta.com/SaaS/configuration/people/index)

The how-to guides linked on this page illustrate how to register your users with Immuta.

## [Identity managers](https://documentation.immuta.com/SaaS/configuration/people/section-contents)

Identity managers are used with Immuta to provide authentication and fine-grained user entitlement. This section provides reference and how-to guides for the identity managers that integrate with Immuta.

## [Immuta users](https://documentation.immuta.com/SaaS/configuration/people/users-index)

Immuta policies are dynamic and change for the user accessing data. Every user accessing policy-protected data must exist in Immuta, regardless of if they will interact with the Immuta UI. The guides in this section discuss managing users and their permissions, groups, and attributes.
