Managing Users — Walkthrough Guide
Overview
The User Management page is accessible from Settings → Organization → Users. This is where administrators can create new users, assign roles, assign users to companies within their organization, and activate or deactivate accounts.
Accessing User Management
- Navigate to Settings from the sidebar.
- In the left navigation panel, under the Organization section, click "Users".
Viewing Existing Users
The Users page displays a table of all users in your organization, including:
- Name — The user's full name
- Email — Their login email address
- Role — Their assigned role (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer)
- Company — Which company within the organization they belong to
- Status — Whether they are active or deactivated
- Actions — Edit and delete buttons for each user
Adding a New User
To add a new user to your organization:
- Click the "Add User" or "Create User" button at the top of the Users page.
- Fill in the required fields:
- First Name — The user's given name
- Last Name — The user's surname
- Email Address — Their login email (must be unique across the organization)
- Password — An initial password for their account
- Role — Select a role from the predefined roles (see Roles & Permissions)
- Company — Assign them to a company within your organization
- Click "Create" or "Save" to finalize.
The new user will receive access with the permissions defined by their assigned role.
Editing a User
To modify an existing user's information:
- Find the user in the Users table.
- Click the Edit (pencil) icon on their row.
- An Edit User modal will appear where you can change:
- Name
- Role assignment
- Company assignment
- Click "Save" to apply changes.
Deactivating / Deleting a User
To remove a user's access:
- Find the user in the Users table.
- Click the Delete (trash) icon on their row.
- Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog.
Note: Deleting a user removes their access but may retain their historical data (dashboards they created, workflow runs, etc.) depending on your organization's data retention policies.
Assigning Roles
Each user must have a role that defines what they can and cannot do in the platform. Roles are managed separately in Settings → Organization → Roles.
Common role capabilities include:
- manage_organization — Can manage organization-level settings
- manage_integrations — Can configure third-party integrations
- manage_users — Can add/edit/remove other users
- view_dashboards — Can view dashboards
- edit_dashboards — Can create and modify dashboards
See the Roles & Permissions guide for more details on creating custom roles.
Assigning Users to Companies
Users are always assigned to a specific company within the organization. This determines:
- Which dashboards they can see by default
- Which data sources they have access to
- Which other users they can collaborate with
To change a user's company assignment, edit the user and select a different company from the dropdown.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Can't see the Users tab | You may not have the manage_users permission. Contact your admin. |
| User can't log in after creation | Verify the email and password are correct. Check if their account is active. |
| User can't see certain dashboards | Check their role permissions and company assignment. |
| Duplicate email error | Each email can only be used once. Check if the user already exists. |
