+Users provisioning
+===
+
+## Configuring the admin and provisioner
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  enabled: true
+  admin:
+    initialPassword: "{bcrypt}$2a$12$VDd8PrAndaJfoMJFlHFot.osSxZWQjMQZKgrEJgVZKFj6WFPvkbnS" # admin123
+  provisioner:
+    username: graphdb-provisioner
+    password: provisionerpass123
+```
+
+## Configuring extra users
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  enabled: true
+  initialUsers:
+    users:
+      tester:
+        username: tester
+        password: "{bcrypt}$2a$12$Ox/aDv4TpnVrMZPmCBNdbu1WI8ekuXiYWMuMie.fpHb.uWRukej1i" # password123
+        grantedAuthorities: [ "ROLE_USER" ]
+```
+
+**Note: The password for the additional user is created by appending the bcrypt-hashed version
+of the password to the "{bcrypt}" string.**
+
+## Configuring users by using a Secret
+
+The Secret resource is defined in the [graphdb-users.yaml](./graphdb-users.yaml) file. It loads 
+the [users.js](./users.js) file as its content, which contains descriptions of all users. Each 
+user's password is stored by appending the bcrypt-hashed version of the password to the {bcrypt} string.
+
+```yaml
+security:
+  enabled: true
+  initialUsers:
+    existingSecret: "graphdb-users"
+    secretKey: users.js
+```
+#### Credentials
+
+| Username | Password |
+|----------|----------|
+| admin    | admin    |
+| tester   | tester   |
