Understanding Liferay User Management 

User Management is one of the important functionalities which is required by each organization despite its size and industry. Managing users is one of the crucial parts of an organization in terms of managing the work, assets, and accessibility of services by each employee/user in the system.

In layman’s terms, user management can be termed as user function to describe the ability of the administrators to manage the access of the user across IT assets, devices, applications, networks, accessibility to services, etc.

Liferay as a platform is very flexible in terms of managing user information i.e. from managing user details to role and permission. The roles and permissions features of Liferay DXP is one of the paramount features where a user can be given access to a granular level such as whether an asset can be created, updated, deleted, or viewed only in terms of operation.

The same goes for the user group functionality which can be used to give access to roles and permission to multiple users in a single go.

The Liferay Monitoring feature can be used to track all live sessions on the page. This is disabled by default for production, but the admin can enable the same by setting the portal property live.users.enabled to true.
