Managing admin users
One of the main use cases for the admin panel is to manage admin users. In Strapi, admin users and Users are different concepts. Let's explore the difference between the two before creating new admin users and assigning them roles.
The difference between Users and admin users
Users are a content-type created by the Users & Permissions plugin. These are the end users—the consumers—of our API. Normally, these will be created using the API itself and will have permissions to access certain actions on certain content-types. We will cover these in more detail in Chapter 7, Authentication and Authorization in Strapi.
Admin users represent the administrators of the whole Strapi instance. We already created our first admin user with a Super Admin role in the first step when we launched the admin panel for the first time and were prompted to create a first user. So, let's create a second admin user next.
