Accela Users API

**Agency Users** Although "users" is a broad and general term, the Accela API's User object (user API resource) represents the agency user. An agency user is a staff member of the agency who logs in the Civic Platform back-office application. **Citizen Users** The other type of users is the citizen user.A citizen is any public user who logs in citizen-facing apps such as Citizen Access or other civic-engagement apps using Accela API.The citizen user is represented by one of the following objects: - **Citizen Access user**: user who logs in Citizen Access(citizenaccess/citizen API resource). - **CivicId**: a registered user on the [Construct User Portal](https://user.accela.com), and can be linked to multiple user accounts(civicid API resource)
