Managing Users

Users are at the bottom level of the three-tiered system for managing users and groups in edu Sharing.

Users can be members of any number of groups / organizations.

Users and their membership in groups can be created and managed in several places:

• directly within Alfresco,
  through synchronization routines from other systems such as LMS or school management software or directory services such as LDAP or

• with the tool for managing permissions in edu-sharing

This documentation deals with edu-sharing's own user management.

• change the user data such as name, e-mail etc,

• set the available storage space (quota) per user,

• define the primary role of users,

• manage membership of organizations and groups,

• block user accounts and

• delete user accounts.
