AFAIK there are only 3 types of accounts:
- normal user account: Account to create and access snapshots and policies. 1 user per repository (usually the creator of the repository) is set as the owner and running maintenance tasks. Account information is stored in the repository.
- ‘basic auth’ user: Authentication for WebUI access. Only used when starting the server mode. Account information is NOT stored in the repository.
- ‘control user’: User to send API commands. Only used when starting the server mode. Account information is NOT stored in the repository.
