SIIC assigns user accounts to Iscte community.

A user account is a collection of settings and information that defines a user on a computer system. Here are some key points about user accounts:

- Unique Identification: Each user account has a unique username and password that allows the user to log in and access their personalized settings, files, and applications.
- Types of Accounts
  - Administrator Accounts: Have full control over the system, including installing software and changing settings.
  - Standard Accounts: Have limited permissions, suitable for everyday tasks.
  - Guest Accounts: Temporary accounts with very limited access.
- Customization: User accounts allow for personalized settings, such as desktop backgrounds, browser favorites, and application preferences.
- Security: Helps keep data private and secure by ensuring that only authorized users can access certain files and settings.
