Description: User management is the process of managing user access and permissions within a network. This process is essential for ensuring the security and integrity of computer systems, as it allows control over who has access to what resources and to what extent. User management involves creating, modifying, and deleting user accounts, as well as assigning specific roles and permissions. Additionally, it includes implementing security policies that regulate access to sensitive information and monitoring user activities to detect unusual or unauthorized behaviors. In a business environment, effective user management is crucial for protecting data and complying with security regulations. User management tools can range from simple solutions, such as account administration in various operating systems, to complex platforms that integrate multiple cloud services and enterprise applications. The automation of user management, through techniques like configuration as code, has also gained popularity, allowing organizations to manage access more efficiently and securely.
