# User security

User security covers how to secure the user facing parts of [SitecoreAI](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/en/sitecoreai.html) as well as securing users, accounts, security roles, domains, and user access rights.

SitecoreAI authentication and user creation is managed by the [Sitecore Cloud Portal](https://doc.sitecore.com/portal/en/developers/sitecore-cloud-portal/en/introduction-to-the-sitecore-cloud-portal.html). For more details, see the following topics:
