These fields make up a user account in octoja. You need the User Management permission (users.manage, granted via groups under Administration → Groups) to manage users under Administration → Users.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description	Example
First Name	Text	No	—	User first name	Jane
Last Name	Text	Yes	—	User last name	Smith
Email	Email	Yes	—	Unique login email address	jane@acme.de
Password	Text	No	Not set	Optional initial password, at least 8 characters. Without a password, the user can only sign in via linked logins.	—
Confirm Password	Text	Only when a password is entered	—	Must match the password.	—
Groups	Multi-select	No	None	Group memberships that grant permissions.	Administrators
Two-Factor Authentication	Setup dialog	No	Disabled	Time-based one-time password (TOTP) second factor. Set up by scanning a QR code — from the user's own profile, or by an administrator on the user detail page.	Enabled
Linked Logins	List	No	None	External identity-provider links (e.g. Microsoft Entra ID, Google) bound to this user.	entra:jane@acme.de

The Add User dialog contains Email, First Name, Last Name, Password, and Confirm Password. Groups, Two-Factor Authentication, and Linked Logins are managed afterwards on the user detail page.

If you create a user without a password, that user can only sign in via linked logins (OIDC). An administrator can set a password later on the user detail page.
