Summary


This chapter introduces just the basics of managing user accounts. We covered creating new roles and how to apply permissions to these roles with fine granularity.

It also introduces you to a fantastically powerful idea that many of the administrative UI screens within Drupal 8 -- for example the People page -- are themselves simply views, thus empowering you to take total control of the backend experience for your content-editing team.

In Chapter 10, Optional Features, we'll look at all of the other modules provided in Drupal 8 core that are not enabled in the Standard installation profile.
