Introduction to User Management

Control access with roles, permissions, and secure authentication

Overview

Bud User Management helps teams control who can access the platform, what they can do, and how access is audited. It combines authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and project-level sharing so organizations can scale safely.

What You Can Manage

• Authentication: Sign-in, token refresh, logout, password reset.
• Users: Invite, view, edit, and deactivate users.
• Roles: Assign roles such as super_admin, admin, developer, devops, tester, and user.
• Permissions: Configure module-level view and manage scopes.
• Project Access: Grant project-scoped permissions for collaboration.
• Governance: Track activity and permission changes for operational review.

Core Capabilities

Capability	Why It Matters	Example
Module RBAC	Limits access by function	user:manage for admin operations
Project Scopes	Enables controlled collaboration	Shared project with view only
User Types	Separates admin and client experiences	Admin vs client dashboards
Session Security	Reduces token abuse risk	Refresh-token based re-auth
Auditability	Supports compliance and incident response	User lifecycle and permission events

How It Fits in Bud

• Admin operators can manage users and permissions from User Management.
• Client users can work within assigned project boundaries.
• Security teams can enforce least privilege and periodic access reviews.
