# Creating User

With roles set up to manage access to dashboards and charts, the next step is to create user profiles and assign the appropriate roles.

Skip this step if the user is already listed on Tathya.

To initiate this process, it is essential to first “list” the user on the Tathya platform.

## Prerequisites

User access to Tathya requires prior registration on LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

{% hint style="info" %}
**LDAP** serves as a centralized user management platform which ensures authentication across various systems. The LDAP integration allows for a single sign-on (SSO) experience, where a registered user can use their LDAP credentials to access multiple systems, including Nifi and Tathya.
