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. -- Viktor.
