Introduction
The system distinguishes between 2 basic kinds of user accounts:
- PAM & Gallery Users
- Share Users
About PAM & Gallery Users
PAM and Gallery users are considered standard user accounts. These accounts include a first name, last name, and password and can be freely assigned to projects and/or Galleries. Standard users can have any role assigned except for the SHARE role.
About Share Users
Share Users are automatically created when an asset gets shared via email. Authentification for these user accounts is solely token-based, meaning that these users cannot have custom usernames and passwords. Share users cannot be assigned to projects and/or Galleries but are bound to individual assets only. By default, share user accounts get automatically deleted when they haven’t been active for more than 60 days.
