User and Group Management

Dremio manages users. Users are configured through the Dremio UI under Admin > Users. Groups are not available in this mode.
LDAP Mode
Users and groups are managed by external LDAP server.
Roles
By default, everyone is given the User role. Users and groups can be assigned as Administrators in the UI under Admin > Administrators.
