User data files are stored within the directory _lw_system/users. This designated location consolidates all user-related information, facilitating efficient data management and access.

​
File naming convention

The naming convention for user files is structured as <USERNAME>---<REALM>. This format is carefully chosen to ensure uniqueness and organization within the system. It allows for easy identification and retrieval of user-specific data by linking the username directly to their associated security realm.

​
Components

  • Username: This is a unique identifier for each user.
    It is a string that distinguishes one user from another within the system.
  • Realm: The realm refers to the security domain within which the user operates.
    It is a critical component of the system’s security model, segregating users based on their access permissions and operational scope.
