User Management

For Administrators, user management functions are accessible through the 'Administer' tab under 'Users'.

Viewing Users

The Users screen provides a tabular view of all users:

This provides the following information about each user:

Field Description
Name User name
Email Registered email address
Role Rolein FAIR
Groups User group membership
Created On Date of creation
Last Updated Date of last update

Using the filters on the top right of the table the admin can:

  • Search for users by first name, last name or email address
  • Filter users by role, approval status and archived status (by default archived users are not visible)

Colour coding indicates the users status:

  • White = approved user
  • Amber = unapproved user
  • Red = archived user

This colour coding is visible through out the FAIR UI i.e. where an unapproved or archived user is a member of a user group or has been added to a dataset this will be visible to other users:
