Understanding the User Store¶

The User Store is one of the three tiers of Izenda’s Architecture and is designed to manage all data interactions within Izenda. Within the User Store, the Configuration Database stores all relevant reporting data. The Configuration Database is set up during the installation process and can be hosted on various types of databases..
