# Managing user accounts in Smart AMS Config

In the User management section, you can add user accounts and specify credentials for them.

To manage users and roles, you must be logged-on as a superuser. You can use the username and password that you specified when logging on to Smart AMS Config for the first time, because the first user created in Smart AMS Config is automatically assigned the Superuser role.

- Go to the Smart AMS Config address in your web browser by using the Open Smart AMS Config UI shortcut on the Desktop or on the Windows Start menu.
  Sample address: http://localhost:6395. Make sure to replace localhost with the actual IP address of the computer Smart AMS Config is running on.
