{: #ri-admin-over}
Use the administration console to manage users and register additional gateways for {{site.data.keyword.apiconnect_short}} V10 Reserved. {: shortdesc}
{: #users_ri-admin-over}
In {{site.data.keyword.apiconnect_short}}, users are grouped into provider organizations. Each provider organization owns a set of assets includeing APIs, products, catalogs, and developer portals. You can create a single provider organization (for example, in a company with only a few employees) or create multiple provider organizations (for example, different departments in a company with many employees).
In {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}}, user access is managed with the Identity and Access Management (IAM) service. You can define access groups with policies that determine permissions within each provider organization in {{site.data.keyword.apiconnect_short}}, and then you can add members of your company's {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} to the appropriate access groups, which results in the users becoming members of the provider organization.
For more information on managing users in your Reserved instance, see Managing users.
{: #gwys_ri-admin-over}
