    If normal system users are used, you simply use the system utilities: adduser, usermod, useradd, userdem, deluser, etc

    If virtual users are enabled the users are managed in the file defined by the AuthUserFile directive and the groups in AuthGroupFile. The format is similar to the system passwd file and group file. You can learn more at http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/VirtualUsers.html
