−An '''internal''' user is a user who is part of your company/foundation and can use the Dolibarr system.
+An '''internal''' user is a user (with its own login to the application) who is part of your company/foundation and can use the Dolibarr system.
+An '''external''' user can be a customer, a supplier or other who is permitted to use the Dolibarr system. So an external user is a user (with its own login to the application) but always linked to a thirdparty object (customer or supplier)
+In both cases, permissions define the access level (read, write, delete) on the data.
−The main difference between an internal and an external user is that an external user can see (if permissions were granted) ONLY the objects linked to the third party of the user. So the external user "Mr smith" of the company "Smith and co" can only see orders, invoices, proposals, ... created for the company "Smith and co".
−So external users are mostly used to give an access to the ERP to your customer or resellers so they can't see nothing related to other customer or suppliers.
+Internal users are often used to give access to the employees.
−Note that external users can also have a different menu manager than internal users (See Home - Setup - Display), but this is not often used
