# User Management

## User Roles

The application uses [**Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control), a system of controlling which **users have access to resources based on the role of the user**. Access rights are grouped by role name, and access to resources is restricted to users who have been authorized to assume the associated role [*(Webopedia)*](https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RBAC.html).

Administrators are given the highest privileges and can access all of the configurations within the system. As such, they have **special permissions** (verify information, suspend, and assign roles) to all existing accounts and create new ones.
