System users (`type: 'system'`), which operate using API's, and human users (`type: 'user'`), which use the client. When referring to a user, we mean the latter. [Users are seeded as part of the administrative hierarchy](/v2.0/technical/guides/configuration/administrative-hierarchy/how-to-populate-administrative-hierarchy.md). Each user has a location and a role. The location's position in the administrative hierarchy determines the jurisdiction the scope grants. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
