# Users

The **Users** page manages participant users on this validator.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/Em8tSAsQVgKcGZ4bR2H1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Participant users are accounts that can interact with the Canton Ledger API. Each user has a set of rights that define which parties they can act as, read as, or execute as.

### User Table

The table can be viewed in **Table** or **Matrix** layout using the toggle in the top-right of the page.
