Users and groups

User management

As an administrator of Goiabada, you can create users and configure their properties:

Profile information (name, nickname, etc.)
Address
Phone
Email

You also have the capability to:

Modify user credentials
Terminate active user sessions
Revoke consents

Permissions and attributes

You can assign permissions and attributes to individual users.

Attributes are key-value pairs of arbitrary information that can be included in the access token or ID token. When creating an attribute, you can choose to include it either in the access token or the ID token.

Groups

To facilitate user management, you can create groups of users.

When you give a permission to a group, it’s given to all group members. The same applies to attributes - group attributes will be included for all group members.

Groups are useful for:

Role-based access control (e.g., admins, editors, viewers)
Department-based permissions
Feature flags for specific user segments

User self-registration

When the User self-registration setting is activated, end-users gain the ability to independently register their user accounts using a link on the login form.

If this setting is disabled, only administrators can create new user accounts through the admin console.

Email verification

For user self-registrations, there’s an option to require email verification for new accounts.

Enabling this ensures that a user account only becomes active after the user clicks a verification link sent to their email.
