Before you can open any other Carol app, this is the gatekeeper that checks who you are and what you're allowed to do. It verifies login credentials, manages user sessions, and enforces permission rules so that sensitive tools and data stay protected.\n\nThe app is owned by [[agt_038]], Carol's Head of Security, which makes sense: controlling who gets in is a security concern first and foremost. It works hand-in-hand with [[agent-access]], its sibling app that manages access for Carol's AI agents rather than human users. Together, the two apps form the backbone of Carol's identity and access layer. If [[access-management]] is the bouncer at the door, [[agent-access]] is the staff badge system behind it.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nEvery time a user navigates to Carol's ecosystem, **Access Mgmt - Users** is the first thing they hit — usually without even noticing. It handles the login flow, validates credentials, issues session tokens, and quietly steps aside once you're verified. If your session expires mid-task, it's this app that prompts you to re-authenticate.\n\nA typical scenario: a new team member joins and needs access to [[carol-design]] and the [[initiatives]] board. An administrator uses this app to create their account, assign the right permission level, and grant access to specific apps. From that point on, every time the new user logs in, **Access Mgmt - Users** checks their credentials and ensures they can only reach the tools they've been approved for — nothing more, nothing less.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"","source_hash":"69bba390d6d94a39e7a08f6c912643aa08eaa56e7f20485a79805660995cb464","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-06-27 03:35:59","created_at":"2026-06-27 03:35:59","updated_at":"2026-06-27 03:35:59"},"facts":{"id":"access-management","name":"Access Mgmt - Users","port":7130,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/auth/","description":"Authentication & authorization","owner":"agt_038","dir_name":"auth","card_group":"user_facing","is_public":0,"access_level":"auth","log_name":"auth","gen_nginx":1,"user_admins":"[]"}}
