Struct lockchain_core::users::User

pub struct User { /* fields omitted */ }

A generic user representation

A user has an identify check built in that can verify a passphrase but is ultimately only a metadata item for a API layer. Any layer is free to disregard these access rights (as such, they should not be considered security, only obscurity/ management control)

A company might not want allow non-admins to create new vaults or users to delete records. This does not cryptographically stop anyone from breaking into the company server, swapping the source code and changing the rules!

An user can have multiple role-access pairs
