You are confusing Postfix (an MTA) with an integrated group-ware system
what includes a mailstore, group management, authentication credential
management, ...
Postfix has no "users". MailStores: various IMAP servers, Exchange, ...
have users. User provisioning for a fully integrated system requires
more than just Postfix.
You need to look for an integrated mailbox service that (if Postfix is
a key feature for you) has Postfix at its undelying MTA, and associated
management tooling for the complete system.
