User model¶

A user is an entity that contains common information about the Decapod user. It has a login, email, password, full name, and a role. The user model is used for authentication and authorization purposes.

When creating a user model in the system, Decapod sends the new password to the user email. It is possible to reset the password and set a new one.

A user created without a role can do a bare minimum with the system because even listing the entities requires permissions. Authorization is performed by assigning a role to the user. A user may have only one role in Decapod.
