# PingDirectory self-service

PingDirectory is a scalable directory used to store identity and rich profile data. Enterprises use it to securely store and manage sensitive customer, partner and employee data, including credentials, profiles, preferences and privacy choices. You can connect to PingDirectory directly from the platform.

To connect to PingDirectory through the portal, click the expandable icon associated with the appropriate environment, click the **Products** tab, and click the **LDAPS** link.

In PingDirectory, you can change user and group objects through your preferred LDAP browser. Learn more in [Managing entries](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingdirectory/latest/pingdirectory_server_administration_guide/pd_ds_manage_entries.html) in the PingDirectory documentation.
