# Managing users

You can set up PingCentral so users access the application through single sign-on (SSO) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The process of authenticating an identity (signing on) at one website (usually with a user ID and password) and then accessing resources secured by other domains without reauthenticating.\</p>
\</div>)*, or you can set it up so users access the application directly through a sign on page.
