# Contacts UI

Provide an interface that allows people to display information about their
contacts.

## Overview

The Contacts UI framework contains user interface objects that provide access
to a person’s contacts in your app. Depending on your app’s authorization
level for using contacts (as indicated by
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Contacts/CNContactStore/authorizationStatus(for:)>),
your app may be able to display, edit, select, and create contacts. When the
authorization level is
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Contacts/CNAuthorizationStatus/limited>,
you can display a [`ContactAccessButton`](/documentation/ContactsUI/ContactAccessButton) to request access to contacts beyond
the limited set a person has currently granted your app access to.
