The users list shows all registered users for your directory, including their name, email, assigned roles, and when they registered.

Assigning roles to users

You can assign one or more roles to each user to control what content they can access:

  • Find the user in the users list
  • Click a user to edit
  • Select or deselect roles using the checkboxes
  • Save changes

Users can have multiple roles. They'll have access to content that allows any of their assigned roles.

Default role on registration

You can automatically assign a role to new users when they register:

  • Go to Access in the menu bar
  • Under the User registration section, find the Default registration role setting
  • Select the role that should be assigned to new users

This is useful for giving all registered users a base level of access, such as a "Member" role. See Managing private access for more details on user registration settings.

User verification status

Users must verify their email address before gaining full access. You can see verification status in the users list:

  • A checkmark indicates the user has verified their email
  • A pending indicator shows users who haven't yet verified

Unverified users can sign in but may have limited access depending on your settings.
