User Accounts

What is a User?

In ProcessMaker Platform, a user is any person associated with a ProcessMaker Platform account that allows that individual to do the following:

  • Log on to ProcessMaker Platform using unique credentials

  • Adjust his or her user profile

  • Start, cancel, and/or participate in Requests

  • Do Tasks

Note that any person who interacts with a Request is not necessarily a user. For example, an anonymous person can participate in a Request via a Web Entry URL, but is not a user because an anonymous person does not have a ProcessMaker Platform account.
