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.
Persistent Login	Provides "remember me" functionality for users with secure long-lived login tokens.

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.
