Hi,

I have scanned the documentation, but dont see an indepth explanation.

I am curious what the purpose of the "User" role is - given that it has no permissions out of the box? Is it purely demonstrative?

Thank you

    "User" role is the out of the box static default role with no permissions. You can define what access it provides for your application. When you create a user that's the role they get by default which can be changed.

    Hi @edarib - thanks, I'm clear on that much. It seems to me there is zero functional purpose of this role existing, out of the box - beyond demonstration.

    I simply wish to confirm that point. Perhaps a question for the vendor to confirm.

    Thanks,

    Hi @hra

    @edarib is right about the User Role.

    Hi @hra

    @edarib is right about the User Role.

    For example if you enable LDAP, users will be able to login with their windows credentials but they won't have any access until you explicitly grant it.

    Another use case: If you allow Self-Registration, you want to first review the request before assigning a role with access to your application.
