Use Case: Executive, UserAdmin Package: Manage_UserInfo

The AlmaUser administration has access to three main types of information namely: 1) individual data on users, 2) individual data on resources, and 3) a list of valid groups.

To keep information upto-date, the administrator must be able to change any data item. Further, s/he should be able to perform consistency checks e.g. usage of groups.

What is the interface for the input? GUI? Command line? or Both?

Goal:   Manage user information in the database.
