Description

It is unclear to me what the option is_staff implies when creating an user.

The API at https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/restapi/#tag/Users/operation/users_create says

is_staff | boolean Default: false Designates whether the user can log into this admin site.

It is unclear to me what is mentioned with this admin site, and it is also unclear what functionality the user would gain with this setting.

Can the user manual be expanded with a page that describes the users and groups concept within pulp ? I can't see any page on it except a description in the developer manual https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/docs/dev/learn/rbac/users_groups/?h=users

Research direction

Read the developer users and groups page at pulpcore/docs/dev/learn/rbac/users_groups/ and compare it with the Users API documentation linked in the issue. Expand the user manual with the users and groups concepts, including what is_staff enables and what “this admin site” refers to; done when these behaviors are clear to API users.
