## Overview
The Enterprise Gateway User Store contains the configuration data for managing Enterprise Gateway user information. This topic introduces the concepts of Enterprise Gateway Users, Groups, and Attributes. It explains how to manage these components on the Users tab in the Policy Studio.
## Users
Enterprise Gateway Users specify the user identity in the User Store. This includes details such as the user name, password, and X.509 certificate. Enterprise Gateway Users must be a member of at least one User Group. In addition, Users can specify optional Attributes, and inherit Attributes at the Group level. To view all existing Users, click the Users tab on the bottom left of the Policy Studio, and select the Users tree node. The Users are listed in the table on the main panel of the Policy Studio. You can find a specific User by entering a search string in the Filter field.
## Adding Users
You can create Enterprise Gateway Users on the Users page in the Policy Studio. Click the Add button on the right to view the Add User dialog. Adding User Details To specify the new user details, complete the following fields on the General tab: User Name Enter a name for the new user. Password Enter a password for the new user. Confirm Password Re-enter the user's password to confirm. X.509 Cert Click the X.509 Cert button to load the user's certificate from the Certificate Store. Adding User Attributes You can specify optional User Attributes on the Attributes tab, which is explained in the next section.
## Attributes
You can specify Attributes at the User level and at the Group level on the Attributes tab. Attributes specify user configuration data (for example, attributes used to generate SAML attribute assertions). Adding Attributes The Attributes tab enables you to configure user attributes as simple name-value pairs. The following are examples of user attributes: `role=admin` `email=niall@oracle.com` `dept=eng` `company=oracle` You can add user attributes by clicking the Add button. Enter the attribute name, type, and value in the fields provided. The `Encrypted` type refers to a string value that is encrypted using a well-known encryption algorithm or cipher.
## Groups
Enterprise Gateway User Groups are containers that encapsulate one or more Users. You can specify Attributes at the Group level, which are inherited by all Group members. If a User is a member of more than one Group, that User inherits Attributes from all Groups (the superset of Attributes across the Groups of which the User is a member). To view all existing Groups, click the Users tab on the bottom left of the Policy Studio, and select the Groups tree node. The User Groups are listed in the table on the main panel of the Policy Studio. You can find a specific Group by entering a search string the Filter field.
