Under Assets & Setup > Admin > Users, cloud admins can view and manage users and their access to functionality in the Perfecto UI by adding these users to org groups and assigning appropriate user roles. As an admin user, you can:
- Select and edit multiple users at once to change their status, assign them to roles, or delete them.
- Edit individual users and change their password. For a selected user, a side pane lists all relevant user details.
The Users tab displays a table that lists users based on the selected org group and status. The left pane lists the available org groups. When a single user is selected in the table, the right pane displays the user details pane. Above the table, a toolbar provides access to common actions, such as adding a user, changing the status of selected users, and adding org groups or roles. You can also search for specific users.
Watch this video to see how you can manage users. Detailed steps follow.
