Manage users
To manage users click on the top menu Authentication button and then click on the Users link.
By default, the application manages users and roles in its own database.
It is also possible to connect the application to an external directory (LDAP directory, for instance).
The login module can be extended to create your own login adapter. More information about it Creating your own login module.
When the application is connected to LDAP, the manage users view is automatically set to read-only mode. Almost all actions are restricted.
Users are shown in a table structure.
