Tips for User Management

• Regular Audits: Periodically review the list of users and their permissions to ensure they are up to date and appropriate.
• Security Best Practices: Encourage users to use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available.
• Role-Based Access: Assign permissions based on the user’s role and responsibilities to minimize security risks.
