# Stash Latest : Users and groups

This page last changed on Oct 09, 2012 by pwatson.

Stash comes with an internal user directory already built-in that is enabled by default at installation. When you create the first administrator during the setup procedure, that administrator's username and other details are stored in the internal directory. Stash Admins and Sys Admins can manage users and groups in Stash as described on this page. You can also set up Stash to use external user directories. Note that access permissions can also be applied to projects. | On this page: Creating a user Creating a group Adding users to groups From the user profile From the group page Related pages: Getting started with Stash External user directories
