New to Roled? Start here! This guide walks you through complete setup regardless of your authentication approach. For deeper understanding of the underlying concepts, see Introduction and Core Concepts.
Choose your authentication path
Roled supports two user management approaches. Choose based on your application’s authentication needs:
| Approach | Description | Best for | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fully Managed Users | Roled handles complete authentication flow including login UI | New applications, rapid prototyping, or apps needing turnkey authentication | Fully Managed Users → |
| Decoupled Users | Your application handles authentication; Roled manages roles and permissions only | Existing applications with established authentication systems | Decoupled Users → |
Both approaches require the same initial project setup in Roled Console. Complete Project Setup first, then follow your chosen authentication guide.
