Users
Users are stored per ID provider. Selected IDP applications, such as the Simple ID provider let you create and manage users directly in the Users
admin app.
In other cases, users are entirely managed outside of XP, and you are limited to adding the users to roles and groups.
A user generally consist of the following fields:
-
name (aka login)
-
display name (Full name)
-
e-mail
