There are two distinct types of Users in Managed DNS: Users and UpdateUsers.
Users are able to log in to the Managed DNS portal and manage the DNS settings within the limits of the individual user’s permissions. A special type of User is the Administrator. See Managed DNS User Types for the distinction between UpdateUsers, Users, and Administrators.
UpdateUsers are used by Managed DNS service Dynamic DNS (DDNS). They are created solely for the use within DDNS and therefore do not have the ability to log in to the Managed DNS portal.
