+
+    <para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    system manager (PID 1) starts user manager instances as
+    <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, with the user's numerical UID used as
+    the instance identifier. These instances use the same executable as the system manager, but running in a
+    mode where it starts a different set of units. Each <command>systemd --user</command> instance manages a
+    hierarchy of units specific to that user. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
+    discussion of units and
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
+    list of units that form the basis of the unit hierarchies of system and user units.</para>
+
+    <para><filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> is accompanied by the
+    system unit <filename>user-runtime-dir@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, which
+    creates the user's runtime directory
+    <filename>/run/user/<replaceable>UID</replaceable></filename>, and then removes it when this
+    unit is stopped. <filename>user-runtime-dir@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>
+    executes the <filename>systemd-user-runtime-dir</filename> binary to do the actual work.</para>
+
+    <para>User processes may be started by the <filename>user@.service</filename> instance, in which
+    case they will be part of that unit in the system hierarchy. They may also be started elsewhere,
+    for example by
+    <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>sshd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> or a
+    display manager like <command>gdm</command>, in which case they form a .scope unit (see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.scope</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+    Both <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the scope units are
+    collected under the <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>.</para>
+
+    <para>Individual <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> slices are
+    collected under <filename>user.slice</filename>, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+    <title>Controlling resources for logged-in users</title>
+
+    <para>Options that control resources available to logged-in users can be configured at a few
+    different levels. As described in the previous section, <filename>user.slice</filename> contains
+    processes of all users, so any resource limits on that slice apply to all users together. The
+    usual way to configure them would be through drop-ins, e.g. <filename
+    index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>The processes of a single user are collected under
+    <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>. Resource limits for that user
+    can be configured through drop-ins for that unit, e.g. <filename
+    index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user-1000.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>. If the limits
+    should apply to all users instead, they may be configured through drop-ins for the truncated
+    unit name, <filename>user-.slice</filename>. For example, configuration in <filename
+    index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/resources.conf</filename> is included in all
+    <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> units, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for a discussion of the drop-in mechanism.</para>
+
+    <para>When a user logs in and a .scope unit is created for the session (see previous section),
+    the creation of the scope may be managed through
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    This PAM module communicates with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to create the session scope and provide access to hardware resources. Resource limits for the
+    scope may be configured through the PAM module configuration, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    Configuring them through the normal unit configuration is also possible, but since
+    the name of the slice unit is generally unpredictable, this is less useful.</para>
+
+    <para>In general any resources that apply to units may be set for
+    <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the slice
+    units discussed above, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for an overview.</para>
