Implementing user management features with popular plugins

In the previous section, we discussed the need for custom user-related functionality in managing large web applications. We can use our own code to create all of the mentioned features to suit web applications. However, implementing these features from scratch is a highly time-consuming task requiring perfect planning. So we need to consider the type of application and the requirements before deciding to implement these features from scratch.

Usually, it's a wise decision to use an existing plugin-based solution in such scenarios, unless user management is the core feature of your application and existing solutions are not capable of handling your application requirements. We can find dozens of free and premium user management plugins by professional developers to manage the user-related tasks of your application. In the next section, we will be looking at three such plugins among the dozens available online.
