Login – The process of authenticating into MAAS, granting access to its management interface. In the Web UI, this involves entering user credentials. In the CLI, authentication requires an API key, which associates the session with a MAAS profile.
Logout – The action of ending a session, removing access to the MAAS environment. In the Web UI, users log out via the interface menu. In the CLI, logging out removes the stored session but does not revoke API keys.
