Creating and Managing Users
Creating and managing users is central to administrating an information system—whether that system is an application on a small network, an enterprise-scale directory, or a cloud service hosted by a SaaS provider. In any instance, identities are used by people, applications, and devices to authenticate and perform activities.

- Cloud-based users
- Synchronized users
- Guest users
