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 |
| Registered email address | |
| Role | Role in 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:

| Toggle | Description |
