User Management in Medulla

This section guides you in user management within Medulla. You will learn how to consult existing users, add new ones, assign them roles and organize them into groups.
Unlike the module Kiosk, which focuses on direct interaction, here the aim is to structure access and enhance security through clear permissions.

The User List section

Located in the centre of the screen, this section displays all registered users in your Medulla environment.

Existing users

If users have already been created, they will appear as a table with the following information:

• Identifier : the unique number assigned to the user.

• Name : full user name.

• Email : registered email address.
