User management
User permissions are different based on the assigned groups and roles. To manage users and permissions the user management module is developed. The modules consists of multiple tabs to manage users, groups, roles and permissions.
Users are related to group(s) and a group consists of one or more role(s). This way a user gets a set of permissions to get access to specific views and actions. A role which grants a specific permissions cannot get revoked by other roles, meaning all roles are merged together.
