Administration of Users, Groups, and Roles 

As an administrator, you control who has access to applications by creating users and providing these users with a means of authenticating themselves to an application. To simplify user administration, users can be collected in groups according to criteria such as the users’ function in a company or the department they work in. Roles define the users’ authorizations. Roles can be assigned to either users or groups.
