Administration / User Management

Introduction

In the Social Registry, user management is typically handled through an administrative interface that allows administrators to create, modify, and deactivate user accounts. The specific process may vary depending on the system's design and configuration, but generally, the following steps are involved:

1. User Creation: Administrators can create new user accounts by entering basic information such as username, password, and email address. They may also assign roles and permissions to the new user.

2. Role Assignment: Users are assigned roles based on their responsibilities within the system. Roles determine the permissions and access rights that users have within the system.

3. User Activation and Deactivation: Administrators can activate or deactivate user accounts as needed. Deactivating an account prevents the user from accessing the system, while activating an account restores access.

4. Audit Logs: The system may keep audit logs of user activity, recording actions such as login attempts, changes to user accounts, and access to sensitive data. Audit logs help administrators monitor user activity and identify potential security issues
