What is User Management?
User management is one of the key tasks in identity and access management. Administrators and developers should be able to easily manage users, user stores (JDBC, Active Directory or LDAP) assign roles, groups, permission level, and privileges.
Users, on the other hand, require the ability to access their accounts and manage their preferences so that accessing resources is simple and frictionless.
