# Manage users and permissions

**Important**  
Authentication *must be enabled **before*** authorization can be managed. If authentication is not enabled, *permissions will not be enforced*. See [“Enable authentication”](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/configure/security/authentication/).

*For information about how to configure HTTPs over TLS, LDAP authentication, and password hashing, see [Configure security](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/configure/security/).*
