# User management

- [User group concept](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/user-management/user-group-concept.md): To manage user permissions more easily in SonarQube Cloud, the members of your organization are managed through groups.
- [Associated SCM accounts](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/user-management/associated-scm-accounts.md): SonarQube Cloud uses the association of users with Source Control Management (SCM) accounts to automatically assign issues to users.
- [Default authentication through DevOps platform](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/user-management/devops-platform-authentication.md): By default, users can authenticate to SonarQube Cloud with their existing credentials on their DevOps platform service (DOP). No additional setup is required.
- [GitHub member synchronization](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/user-management/github-member-synchronization.md): The GitHub member synchronization allows the automatic synchronization of organization members between GitHub and SonarQube Cloud.
