# Users

Engine usually integrates with an external directory system (such as Active Directory) for authentication.

The Users Section lists all users who have signed in, their level of access and a History (log) of the Systems which were accessed (controlled from an Interface or viewed in Backoffice).

## Permissions

When first logging on, a user will have no permissions assigned and will be denied access to Backoffice. A System Administrator should then look up the User from the list in the User’s Section of Backoffice and set their permissions:

* Tech Support: Have access to view Backoffice and all objects but cannot create or edit Systems and Devices.
* System Admin: Full write access to all objects

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://engine.place.technology/administration/backoffice/users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
