In Crowd, users are referred to as user entity objects or just users. Groups are known as permission container objects. Groups are particularly important in Crowd, as they are often used to control access to applications. Note also that the crowd-administrators group confers Crowd administration rights to its members.

メモ:

  • Support for roles, previously deprecatedhas been removed in Crowd 2.5. The implementation of roles in Crowd was identical to the implementation of groups and did not provide any extra functionality.
  • This section describes how to add/edit users and groups via the Crowd Administration Console. Note that the ability to do this depends on the permissions of the directory which contains the users and groups.
