# Managing users
<a name="manage-users"></a>

After users can sign in, you manage their accounts over the lifetime of your application. This section covers the day-to-day administration of a user directory: creating and importing users, organizing them into groups, and connecting a user pool to an identity pool so that your users can also obtain AWS credentials.
