User Management

The Jahia Authentification system is based on a generic user routing mechanism based on providers. Several providers may be used simultaneously. So for example you may customize Jahia in order to:

1. Reuse your existing LDAP users and groups (e.g. usually in read-only mode)
2. Let the site administrators add new non-LDAP users in the Jahia User Management System

Both type of users may login on the same portal. You may also develop your own provider if you need a new one (e.g. NT; Kerberos;...).

Rights Management (ACL)

Every content object in Jahia may have different permission rights. To ease the site management, an inheritage mechanism has been put in place. So if you do not specify or modify the permissions on the current object of content, the permissions of the parent object will automatically apply.
