This topic includes the initial checklist when planning to setup your server and useful links to help you get started with most common tasks.
User management
- Will you manually create users on ICP or do you plan to integrate with an external authenticator?
- You need to decide who will need to have access to the system, either to all four products or just a subset of products.
- Will you group users into domains on ICP, allowing easier administration compared to a flat list of users, all in a single domain?
- Will you need to limit the number of active sessions per user/per domain?
- Will there be different customizations per user/per domain?
