You can manage your internal and external users in the product administration area.
Internal Users
Internal users are users working within your default organisation.
External Users
External users belong to organisations outside of your default organisation. These users may have access to the system using an external portal or may use different Personas.
User Profiles
You can view your profile or the profile of other users (if you have permissions). Profiles contain key information about the user. Users can view their own profile by clicking on their name at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
User Types
User types can be used to define a certain type of user with certain characteristics e.g. team membership. This gives you a fast way to set up your user.
Authentication
Authentication allows you to verify the user is who they should be; it keeps your application secure. Sharedo supports the most common forms of authentication, including Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, and a local forms-based login.
Viewing Users
To find and access users, use the Launchpad > Admin > Users area of the system.

Clicking once on a user opens that user's profile. If you click Edit Profile in the User Profile menu bar, the Edit Profile blade opens. The Edit Profile blade also opens if you double-click the user in the User Management screen.

User Profile Content
The user profile contains the basic details about a user and provides access to other user information such as signature and connections.
