What does user account do?

What is the benefit of user account?

User accounts can increase retention, help users transition between devices or platforms, and provide opportunities to increase engagement and investment from users by giving them a sense of identity and personal storage space.

A user object is always linked to one and only one login account. Login accounts are server-level (or in some cases vault-level) accounts that are used for authenticating users to M-Files Server. A login account can be associated with multiple users, but only one user per vault.

What is the difference between user account and computer account?
