JUser¶

Synopsis¶

A user is a person who uses a computer or network service. Users generally use a system or a software product without the technical expertise required to fully understand it.

A user often has a user account and is identified to the system by a username (or user name). Other terms for username include login name, screen name.

A user’s account allows a user to authenticate to a system and to be granted authorization to access resources provided by or connected to that system; however, authentication does not imply authorization. To log into an account, a user is typically required to authenticate oneself with a password or other credentials for the purposes of accounting, security, logging, and resource management.
