Unix Epoch
The Unix epoch is 00:00:00 UTC on 1st January 1970. Some timestamps in Stroom are represented as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch, e.g. 1738331628276, and may be referred to as epoch ms or epoch milliseconds.
U
User
Refers to a Stroom User that is linked to either an Account in Stroom’s internal Identity Provider or a user account in an external Identity Provider. A Stroom User is primarily concerned with authorisation (i.e. application/document permissions and group memberships) rather than authentication, though disabling one also refuses that person at authentication and ends any access they currently hold.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), also known as Zulu time, is the international standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is essentially a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTC has the time zone offset of +00:00 and does not change for daylight saving. All international time zones are relative to UTC.

A Universally Unique Identifier for uniquely identifying something. UUIDs are used as the identifier in Doc Refs. An example of a UUID is 4ffeb895-53c9-40d6-bf33-3ef025401ad3.
