The **Varbase Users Base** recipe manages default Varbase user roles and user management configurations, including role definitions, account settings, and the modules needed to support user management on the site.

## Drupal.org Project

## Overview

Varbase Users Base establishes the foundation for user management in Varbase sites. It defines the user roles hierarchy, configures registration and notification policies, and sets account defaults to provide a secure and streamlined editorial experience.

## Included Modules

Brings in the following core modules to your site:

| Module                       | Purpose                                                                                                         |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Node** *(in Drupal core)*  | Manages the creation, configuration, and display of the main site content.                                      |
| **Block** *(in Drupal core)* | Allows users to configure blocks (containing content, forms, etc.) and to place them in the regions of a theme. |

## User Roles

Varbase comes with pre-configured default roles tailored for sites with hierarchical content management permissions.

### Super Admin (`administrator`)

Can edit everything in content and configurations for the site.

### Site Admin (`site_admin`)

Can edit, delete, and publish all content on the site.

### SEO Admin (`seo_admin`)

### Content Editor (`content_editor`)

### Authenticated user (`authenticated`)
