The provision to handle user accounts directly from the Catalyst console, rather than creating additional solutions for it, is highly helpful and time saving. * Even if you have included a provision for users to create an account or reset their password from inside your application, you can still perform these activities quickly from the console for your convenience. * You can easily manage applications created for internal usage by your organization's members, or that are made accessible by request only using Authentication. * You can create custom user roles for your end-users, and provide them with more specific permissions.
