+# Lumi2 (LDAP user management interface)
+
+**Lumi2** is a web application for managing users and user groups present on an OpenLDAP server.
+It provides a web-interface for administrators to create/read/update/delete organization users and user groups, and to allow basic account self-service for organization members themselves.
+Lumi is written in Python, using the [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/) web framework.
+
+The motivation for Lumi is for it to provide a more user-friendly interface than [PhpLdapAdmin](https://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page), however it is not a replacement.
