User management is a mechanism which that involves defining and managing users and their access levels in a system. A user management dashboard or console provides system administrators a holistic complete view of a system's active user sessions, their log-in statuses, the privileges of each user and their activity in the system, enabling the system admins . This enables them to make business-critical, real-time security decisions. A typical user management implementation involves a wide range of functionality such as adding/deleting users, controlling user activity through permissions, managing user roles, defining authentication policies, managing external user stores, manual/automatic log-out, resetting user passwords etc.
