Logins and users

Hi,
I would like to ask what is the difference between "Login" and "User" entity.
I know that a Login is a principal and I can use it for accessing db
resource, and I can to limit its rights. Why there is a "User" entity also?
Thanks,
Lubomir
At a very basic level, a login is at the server level and
allows connecting to the server.
A user is at the database level and allows access to the
database.
