We learned how to manage users, organizations, user group, roles, and password policies. We also learned about user monitoring. In this chapter, we'll look at portal and server configuration options for Liferay. The Control Panel is organized in four main areas: Users, Sites, Apps, and Configuration.

2. Introduction
The Control Panel is organized in four main areas: Users, Sites, Apps, and Configuration.
The Users section lets you create and manage users, organizations, user groups, roles, and password policies.
If monitoring has been enabled for your portal, you can also view all of the live portal sessions of your users
from this area of the Control Panel. If the Audit plugins have been installed from Liferay Marketplace, the Audit
section also appears.
The Users section of the Control Panel is used for most administrative tasks involving user management. There,
you’ll find an interface for the creation and maintenance of the following portal entities: users, organizations,
user groups, and roles.

3. Adding and Managing Users
Users are a fundamental entity in Liferay. If your portal requires people (even just a set of site administrators) to have an
account that they sign into to do anything in the portal, you need to know about users. If your users are at all divided hiera
From the Product Menu, click Control Panel → Users → Users and Organizations rchically, like into departments, you might
find Organizations helpful.
In the Users tab, click the Add button
Fill out the Add User form and click Save. At a minimum, provide a Screen Name, First Name, Last Name, and Email
Address for the User.

4. Organizations
An Organization is a way to group Liferay Users hierarchically. For example, your company’s departments (Human
Resources, for example) could be an organization in Liferay. Often times, organizations have their own site.

5. User Groups
User groups allow portal administrators to create groups of users that traverse hierarchical boundaries.

6. Roles
Roles collect permissions that define a particular function within Liferay DXP,
according to a particular scope. Roles collect permissions, and users are assigned
to roles, either directly or through their association with a User Group, an
Organization, or a Site

8. Difference between Sites and Organization
Sites can be Organized hierarchy just like organization’ the sites are used to
organize page, content, application data and users(via site membership) and
Organization are only used to group users.

9. Introduction to Managing Apps
Apps are the central focus of the Liferay experience. For example, Liferay’s web experience management, collaboration, and
business productivity features all consist of apps. Even the Control Panel consists of apps that let you configure Liferay to
your liking. You can also add to or change Liferay’s built-in functionality by installing other apps. Naturally, Liferay provides
several ways to manage, find, and install apps. This section covers these topics, and more, in the following articles:
● Managing and Configuring Apps: Use Liferay App Manager and Components listing to activate, deactivate, delete,
and set permissions in your Liferay instance’s apps.
