Users
Agency Users
Although "users" is a broad and general term, the Accela API's
User object (user API resource)
represents the agency user. An agency user is a staff member of the
agency who logs in the Civic Platform back-office application.
Citizen Users
The other type of users is the citizen user. A citizen is any public user
who logs in citizen-facing app such as Citizen Access or other
civic-engagement apps using Accela API. The citizen user is
represented by one of the following objects:
-
Citizen Access User - user who logs in Citizen Access
(
citizenaccess/citizenAPI resource). - CivicId - a registered user on the
Construct User Portal, and can be linked to multiple
user accounts (
