Manage users

To manage users on the top right click on User list button.

Note

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 and create your own login adapter. More information about it Creating your own login module.

Caution

When the application is connected to LDAP the manage users view is automatically set to readonly mode. Almost all actions are restricted.

Users are shown in a table structure.
