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.
