| This guide has been written mainly for coreBOS administrators. We expect that readers will have some familiarity with security management. This guide assumes a basic knowledge of security-related concepts and terms, including authentication, authorization, and roles. Although we provide a description of all features as they are implemented at the release date, this guide may not suffice as your only reference about coreBOS. This depends, on your needs and experience but also on the progress coreBOS makes. | This guide has been written mainly for coreBOS administrators.

| The first chapter of this book deals with security concept only, i.e. there are no prerequisites in terms of setting up coreBOS. It is helpful to have a basic knowledge of security-related concepts and terms. With regard to the real world example, however, having access to a CRM installation would obviously be an advantage as you could duplicate the setup and investigate your own tweaks to the security configuration.\\ | The first chapter of this book deals with security concept only, i.e. there are no prerequisites in terms of setting up coreBOS.
