# Manage users and access

User management in n8n allows you to invite people to work in your n8n instance. It includes:

* Login and password management
* Adding and removing users
* Three [account types](/administer/manage-users-and-access/understand-account-types.md): **Owner** and **Member** (and **Admin** for Pro & Enterprise plans)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Privacy**

The user management feature doesn't send personal information, such as email or username, to n8n.
{% endhint %}
