# Users ### Users The **Users** section is used to manage user accounts and control access to the platform. It allows administrators to create users, assign roles, define permissions, and manage security-related settings. *** ### Users Overview {% embed url="" %} The Users overview displays all user accounts within the account. Here you can: * View all users * Filter users by status (active or deactivated) * Search for users by name or email address * Filter users by default role or group * Open detailed user settings Each user entry shows basic information such as name, email address, assigned groups, and default role. *** ### Creating a User New users can be created from the Users section. When creating a user, the following information can be defined: * First name and last name * Email address * Optional profile image * Language and time zone * Optional telephone number * Default layout preference After creation, roles, group assignments, and module access can be configured. *** ### Roles and Permissions {% hint style="info" %} If **Groups** are not available for the account, access rights and roles can be assigned **directly to users and projects** without using group-based assignments. {% endhint %}
Each user is assigned a **default role**, which defines their general permissions across the platform. Additionally: * Roles can be assigned **per group**, if Groups are enabled * Group-specific roles override the default role for projects linked to that group * Typical roles include **Reader**, **Uploader**, **Junior-Editor**, **Senior-Editor**, and **Administrator** This provides fine-grained permission control tailored to a user’s responsibilities. The **“More information on the roles”** action shows the permissions associated with each role.
*** ### Group and Module Assignment If enabled for the account, users can be: * Assigned to one or more **groups** * Granted access to specific **modules** Module access must be explicitly granted to users, even if the module is booked at the account level. *** ### User Settings For each user, individual settings can be configured, including: * Personal details (name, image, language, time zone) * Layout preferences * Upload and approval behavior * Group-specific roles * Assigned modules Changes take effect immediately and apply according to the user’s permissions. *** ### Security Settings User-specific security settings include: * Two-factor authentication (SMS or email) * Limiting the number of active sessions * Granting temporary support access (if available) These settings help enforce account security and compliance requirements. ### Access and Availability * Users are available at the **account level** * Only users with appropriate permissions can access users management * Availability and granularity of data may depend on enabled modules and services --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
