📄️ Accounts
Your Cardinal Media Server is an identity provider, meaning it can create and manage user accounts for people. Colloquially, it is known as the "local IdP", and it supports two types of user accounts: cloud and local. This guide details how both account types work in your Media Server and, by extension, your other self-hosted apps.
