User management is a crucial component of Cloudinary's digital asset management system as it determines who has access to the assets in the system and what they are able to do with them given their assigned user role. As a good DAM Admin you want to make sure that your users have the right set of permissions to do their jobs and nothing more!

Effective DAM user management ensures that the correct individuals have the necessary permissions to perform specific tasks within the system, while also ensuring that sensitive information and assets are protected from unauthorized access.

When planning your governance policy, consider which processes or workflows are important to your business, which users need access to which assets, and what actions each user needs to perform.

In a cloud-based system like ours at Cloudinary, user management becomes even more important as it enables organizations to control and monitor access to their digital assets from anywhere in the world. This means that an organization's DAM administrators can grant and revoke access to the system as needed while also being able to track and audit user activity.

Additionally, user management helps to ensure that different teams within an organization are able to collaborate effectively and efficiently. For example, a marketing team can be granted access to specific folders or assets that support their campaigns, while a development team can have access to different assets for their projects.

This helps to ensure that everyone is able to work efficiently and effectively, without interfering with each other.

In conclusion, user management is a critical component of Cloudinary's digital asset management system, as it helps organizations to protect their information and assets, collaborate effectively, and comply with regulations.
