title: Enabling TAS for VMs Users

The topics in this subsection explain how to manage user accounts and enable the users of a <%= vars.app_runtime_full %> (<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>) runtime on <%= vars.platform_name %>.


## <a id='overview'></a> Overview

<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>-based runtimes are opinionated development environments with built-in structures to compartmentalize, support, and track multiple independent app development teams. Enabling <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> users means:

* Inviting new users and assigning user roles
* Setting up and managing user notifications
* Setting up orgs, spaces, and segments for developer users to work in
* Giving developers access to software services and buildpacks
* Giving developers and security objects
* Enabling secure traffic between apps
* Integrating <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> with container systems and development environments

In addition to these tasks, <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> managers may also deploy apps, create service instances, and perform other tasks that <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> app developers do. For more information, see [Developer Guide](../devguide/index.html).
