User Management
Users are people who have remote or local access to the system. They are identified by first name, last name, and email address; they are assigned a role and added to one or more groups before using the system. Users can be granted access to the Cold Vault, MPC, or both.
The user's role and group(s) are used by the system for various purposes, such as determining what policies apply to the user. As Custody Infrastructure's system permissions are policy-driven, a user's role and group(s) directly drive what actions that individual can perform on the system.
Groups are used to control the policies of multiple users at once.
