Elephant Users is based on the BrightSide Contacts module. A user is always a contact.
Any contact can be transformed into a user, by giving a connector called Email
. Users with this connector can authenticate into the User area and manage their own profile.
If enabled, the User area can also admit new sign-ups. The sign-up process validates the user email. Registered users get the Social Group Guest
, with no permissions attached. Administrators receive an email and push notification with the new user name and email.
User's permissions are controlled by the Elephant Security System, explained in Security .
