this mostly depends on what backends you use.

I for one use the Kolab backend, where content (mails, appointments,  
tasks etc) is stored in our (Kolab.managed) IMAP storage and access to  
the system is verified by trying to log in to that IMAP server via the  
credentials used during Horde logon. So in my case, our admin will  
have to manage the users via the Kolab mechanisms.

If you use the IMAP backend for authentication, it'd be similar to the  
above, except that user management would depend on the specifics of  
your IMAP server environment.

Of course, there may be back-ends that verify against system accounts.

Generally speaking, there's no necessary direct relationship between  
"Horde users" and "system accounts", unless you configure Horde that  
way.

Regards,
Jens
