General Board / Why no link Project Aurthor(s) and Security?

Maybe this is a newby question about EA 10 Corp.:
Today, I tried to set up Project Security for the first time. All went well, but I found the function Project > Security > Manage Users utterly confusing and cumbersome.
First, I set all my EA Project Authors through: Settings > Project Types > People.
To my knowledge, a Project Author is a resource who works on an EA project (file). All the other resources work outside of EA and may not need any connection to e.g. AD.
So if I want to enable Project Security, isn't it logical to conclude that I want to give access to my Project Author(s)?
In other words, why can't I select from a list of Project Author(s) in the Project > Security > Manage Users menu and assign them a password and username?
