Users

How to manage admin panel user accounts, including creating new users, assigning roles, and resetting passwords.

Last updated March 16, 2026 View as Markdown

Users are the accounts that can log into the admin panel. Each user is assigned a role that determines what they can see and do.

Users List

The Users index shows all admin accounts with their name, email, and role. Only administrators can access this screen.

Creating a User

  • Name (required) — the user's display name.
  • Email (required) — used to log in. Must be unique.
  • Password — set an initial password. The user should change it on first login.
  • Role (required) — the role that controls this user's permissions. See the Roles help article for details.

Editing a User

Open a user record to change their name, email, or role. To reset a password, edit the user record and enter a new password in the password field.

Deactivating a User

To remove admin access without deleting the account, change the user's role to one with no permissions, or delete the user record. Deleting a user does not delete records they created.

Your Own Account

You can update your own name, email, and password from the profile menu in the top-right corner of the admin panel. You cannot change your own role.
