Manage users
You can view a list of your Dashboard users, and manage their access, roles, and permissions.
Anyone with the View the list of users on the account permission can access the Roles and permissions page from the Settings menu > Settings page, which lists all the account's users. Depending on your entity access and business needs, you can filter the list to find users whose details you can edit. The Account owner can view and manage all users for all entities on the account.
If your organization uses single sign-on, user management is handled by your third-party identity provider (IdP) and is not available within the Dashboard.
The Roles and permissions page provides an overview of all users, including their roles and user status.
The Last login column reflects the three possible user statuses:
Pending
– The user has been invited to your Dashboard but hasn't yet accepted the invite or set up their sign in details. Invites expire after seven days.[Timestamp]
– The user has accepted the invite. The date and timestamp show the last time they accessed the Dashboard.Expired
– The user did not accept the invite in time and it expired. To resend it, next to the status, select Resend invite.
To view more information or edit a user's details, select a row. The User profile page is displayed.
To add a user, you must have the Admin user role.
You can add as many users to your Dashboard as needed. You must provide each user’s email and role, as well as the entities you want them to have access to. The users then receive an invitation email with instructions to activate their account.
New user invites expire after seven days. If the new user does not activate their account within that timeframe, an Admin needs to resend the invite.
