# Application Configuration
### Repository User Management
Repository Users configured in Codice are those who have permissions to access and manage Git repositories. These users maintain the necessary credentials (SSH and tokens) to securely interact with different repository providers (GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket).
**Available Operations:**
* Create new users through "Add User" button
* Edit existing users via action menu
* Delete users via action menu
* View user details
**User Properties:**
* **Username** (required)
* **SSH Key** (required): Private SSH key for repository authentication, you must set the public key in the repository provider to grant access to the user
* **Access Token** (required): Access token for GitLab/GitHub/Bitbucket with read/write repository permissions
* **Description** (optional): Additional user information

### Maven Settings
Maven settings configuration allows you to manage internal dependencies through a custom settings.xml file. This configuration is essential for:
* Accessing private artifact repositories
* Managing internal dependencies
* Authenticating with your organization's Maven repositories
**Key Points:**
* Configure custom Maven settings through XML editor
* The configured user inside the settings.xml file must have proper permissions to access artifact repositories
* Save/Update Maven configuration
* Empty configuration will use system defaults
