# Manage user accounts

> Maintain ABBYY FlexiCapture user accounts: create, edit, and delete users, import accounts from Active Directory, assign roles, and reset passwords.

<Info>
  The System Administrator and the Operators Manager can create user accounts with Tenant Administrator permissions and manage user accounts in the default tenant. Tenant Administrators can manage user accounts only in their own tenants. The procedure for managing user accounts is the same for System Administrators and Tenant Administrators.
