Manage users
You must be an Admin or a Manager level user, to manage users' roles and access rights (see "About roles and access rights").
During a project lifetime, users can be added, deactivated or removed. All project users are listed in the "User" section.
In addition, you can also see groups in the user list - shown by a blue G bar above the group profile image - in order to manage group access rights. To read more about groups, see "About groups", "Create groups" and "Manage groups and members".
You can use the search option in the table header to filter by keywords (handy if you are looking for a specific user or group).
- You can manage the project membership and access rights of users. You cannot update any personal information or account data of users. Each individual user can update their account data in their user settings.
- Managing users must be done separately for each of your projects.
