# Users

> Manage CometChat users in Android apps with user lists, profiles, presence, blocking, and user-related SDK methods.

<Accordion title="AI Integration Quick Reference">
  Choose your user management path:

  * **User Management** → [user-management](/sdk/android/user-management) - Create and sync users
  * **Retrieve Users** → [retrieve-users](/sdk/android/retrieve-users) - Fetch user lists with filters
  * **User Presence** → [user-presence](/sdk/android/user-presence) - Track online/offline status
  * **Block Users** → [block-users](/sdk/android/block-users) - Block and unblock users
</Accordion>

Users in CometChat map directly to users in your app. Start with [user management](/sdk/android/user-management) to sync your users, then [retrieve users](/sdk/android/retrieve-users) to display them.
