User management

Users are not managed directly within the application itself. Instead, two different approaches are available.

The first approach is to configure OIDC (OpenID Connect) in the application. This means that the users are managed via the corresponding provider. The user roles and authorizations are defined with the external identity provider.

Alternatively, the users can be provided via the server’s security realm. User information and access rights are then managed directly on the server. In both cases, users must be assigned suitable roles in order to be allowed to use the application.

The REST resource Users or User is available for user management. This resource can be used to perform various actions, such as changing user settings or retrieving data required to operate the application. It is also possible to delete users. It should be noted that deleting a user only resets the user account and does not prevent the user from continuing to use the application.
