# Authentication

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/authentication/get-component-instance/) now.

[Catalyst Authentication](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/introduction) features in
Node.js SDK enable you to add end-users to your Catalyst serverless applications, fetch user details, manage their
passwords, or delete them permanently. You can perform additional configurations on user accounts and roles, and manage
the authentication of your application from the remote console.

### Get a Component Instance

You can create a `userManagement` component reference as shown below. This will not fire a
server-side call. We will refer to this component instance in various code snippets of working with Authentication.

```javascript
//Get a UserManagement Instance 
let userManagement = app.userManagement();
```
