Basic Questions On Managing Users And Permissions in Sharepoint with C#

Question

I want to develop an application that will manage users and permissions on Sharepoint. I don't want to add apps or parts to Sharepoint, just manage users and permissions. Here are my questions:

1. If I just want to manage users and permissions, can I create a development environment on Windows 10 Desktop or Windows Server running Sharepoint?
2. Do you know of an online tutorial with code samples in C# that shows how to manage users and permissions on Sharepoint?

Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Answer 1

If you're using SharePoint online,you could use SharePoint CSOM api for such requirement.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/manage-sharepoint-users-and-groups

This can be done in several different solutions(PowerShell/client side app/Azure app etc.). Suppose you develop a cosole/winform application, you just need Visual Studio and install CSOM in your server.
