User Management

Abstract

So far, all the implemented user stories in the app are public and available to all users; now we are going to implement some personalized user stories of the app. Before adding personalization features, we need to add basic support for user management. Implementing user management is a task we must do, but it's a tedious task for developers. Although there are a lot of high-quality open source libraries in different programming languages to handle user authentication, we still need to integrate those libraries with app code and manage back-end storage. It's also very common for an app to allow users to log in using third-party providers, for example, Google or Facebook. To support this scenario, more libraries need to be integrated, which makes user management a harder task to finish.
