# Integrate HyperPod clusters with Active Directory
<a name="sagemaker-hyperpod-slurm-user-management-active-directory"></a>

In practical use cases, HyperPod clusters are typically used by multiple users: machine learning (ML) researchers, software engineers, data scientists, and cluster administrators. Instead of statically creating users on each instance, you can use [Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol) on Wikipedia and LDAP over TLS/SSL (LDAPS) to integrate with a directory service such as [AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory](https://aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/). For more information, see the blog post [Integrate HyperPod clusters with Active Directory for seamless multi-user login](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/integrate-hyperpod-clusters-with-active-directory-for-seamless-multi-user-login/).
