Authentication is required to use a Genesis application, whether it be via a user interface, or using a client API.
Overview
For any application that has more than minimal complexity, you will want to give some users access to specific information and functions, and you will want to deny that access to others. For example, you might want to give an admin user the ability to delete an order, but you don't want anyone else to be able to do that.
Auth module
The User Management component is based on a set of pre-built microservices of the auth module (as you'll see in the server section) and front-end components to perform user and profile operations.
