In Crowd, users are referred to as principal entity objects (or just principals). Groups and roles are known as permission container objects.

Groups are particularly important in Crowd, as they are often used to control access to applications. Note also that the crowd-administrators group confers Crowd administration rights to its members.

Roles are used less frequently, depending on the requirements of individual applications.

This section describes how to add/edit principals, groups and roles via the Crowd Administration Console. Note that the ability to do this depends on the permissions of the directory which contains the principals/groups/roles, and also depends on the directory being mapped to the Crowd Administration Console (i.e. the 'crowd' application).
