User Management
The User Management system is responsible for creating, managing, and maintaining user accounts within the platform. It provides both administrative and self-service features, allowing administrators to manage users and permissions, while enabling end users to maintain their own profiles. Typical workflows include:
- Creating and deleting user accounts
- Assigning roles, groups, and permissions
- Managing user profile data and contact details
- Password management (self-service and administrative)
- Email verification and account activation notifications
