Actually login and logout and password reset function also comes under this. By using add user function users can add new users for the system. As usual for this function you have to decide your user roles. Edit users can edit the details of current users. It’s better you have a dropdown there. You can select existing user from that. Then below text boxes show entered data then you can change and save it again.

In view user functionality you can view existing users in the system. You can use a table to show these details. There is a good library for that. That is data tables. You can show whether users are active or not in the table. If you can use font awesome icon for that it would be nicer. Here also you can show password reset option. When resetting password you can send password link with email. This would ensure the security. Removing a user you can done by changing a status in database. Because I told this multiple times that we are not removing data from a database. Instated we use a status to manage them.
