**Problem:** For historical reasons, source files for the Elasticsearch Guide's security, watcher, and Logstash API docs are housed in the `x-pack/docs` directory. This can confuse new contributors who expect Elasticsearch Guide docs to be located in `docs/reference`. **Solution:** - Move the security, watcher, and Logstash API doc source files to the `docs/reference` directory - Update doc snippet tests to use security Rel: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/208

=== Native user authentication
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to manage and authenticate users is with the internal `native`
|
|
realm. You can use the REST APIs or Kibana to add and remove users, assign user
|
|
roles, and manage user passwords.

==== Managing native users
|
|
|
|
The {stack} {security-features} enable you to easily manage users in {kib} on the
|
|
*Management / Security / Users* page.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can manage users through the `user` API. For more
|
|
information and examples, see
