The User model leverages on vendor/october/rain/src/auth/models/user has all the necessary functionality for permission checking (which I assume is used on the backend) but why is there no permission based checking and data for front end user groups? What's the purpose of having front end user groups? I was hoping to develop front end user based functionality?

As a slight aside, does anybody see any issue with creating a backend user (with the same credentials) at the same time a front end user is first authenticated?
