In this section you can know about:
Logged-in admin users can add more users to provide them access to the database application. For this, proceed to Users > Add User > enter Name and Email Id as shown in the below given image.
Now the new user will be able to use the Google / Google Apps / Yahoo! user account associated with that email-id, to login and access the application.
If the user does not already have an user account with these services, they can signup for a new Google account with their existing email-id :

as shown in the image below :
The user can be provided permissions based on assigning them to a Role or by using Auth Profiles, details of which are given below.
Users can be associated to roles which can be either admin, user or guest, as shown in the image below.
By default , admin users have permissions to all data and can perform all operations. Those in user role
can add / update / delete non-admin records. Guest users will typically
have read-only permissions. This can be customized to for custom
entities, by configuring the Read Authorization and Write Authorization
in the entity record.
If the Read Authorization and Write Authorization is set to admin, then only admin users can view / add / update / delete the records. Even those with the user role, will not be able to view the records from that entity.
With the help of Authorization Profiles (from under Admin > Auth Profiles > Add Auth Profile), one can allow / restrict access to specific operations alone, like controlling permission to View, Add, Edit, Delete, Export records or to Send Emails.
After adding an authorization profile, you will have to edit the user record to associate the Auth Profile, as shown in the image below.
