Manage Archiva Users

  Archiva uses the {{{http://archiva.apache.org/redback/} Redback}} security framework for managing repository security. When the server is first started,
  you will be prompted to create an administration user. This user will be given permission to administer all aspects of the system (as well as
  access to all of the repositories). This user can then be used to grant permissions to other users.

  A guest user is also created by default, and given read access to the default repositories (<<<internal>>> and <<<snapshots>>>). Repositories with
  guest user access can be accessed without the use of a username and password (or without being logged in to the web interface).

* Manage Users

  The ui provide a screen to manage your users. You can:

  * Delete user
