Configuring MAM Users

Users are the persons who interact with the WSO2Mobile MAM related consoles. Users can belong to either the "administrator" or "user" role type. The super tenant administrator and the MAM administrator belong to the "administrator" role type; while all other users (such as publishers, reviewers and/or end-users who access the store) belong to the "user" role type. Users assigned to the "mamadmin" role can not belong to any other user role. You do not need to add users manually, if the EMM is connected to a user store. In WSO2Mobile EMM, we do not allow user details to be edited once they have been added. In the event you need to change user details, simply delete the current user and create a new user.
