After you enable an external IDP, the process of adding new users to the Edge UI is:

1. The user registers with the SAML or LDAP identity provider.
2. An Edge organization administrator adds the user to an Edge organization and assigns the user a role, as described in [Creating global users](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/system-administration/adding-global-users).

   - **With the Edge management API:** See [Creating a global user through the Edge API](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/system-administration/adding-global-users#creatingaglobaluserthroughtheedgeapi)
