User
A user in Cascade Server is one who uses the content management system. Cascade Server requires individuals using the system to authenticate upon login for security, logging, and resource management purposes. Each user has a user account with a User ID (username), password, full name, and email as well as group and role membership.
Every user is identified by the system with his or her User ID. A password is then used for authentication and the full name and e-mail serve as contact information for the user. The group and role membership help to determine the privileges a user has in the system and help establish his or her access to various system resources.
