# Users

> The Admin Dashboard Users tab — accounts, group membership, and the invitation/approval lifecycle.

The **Users** tab on the [Admin Dashboard](/features/admin-dashboard) manages the people on the platform: creating accounts, assigning them to [groups](/features/admin/groups), and tracking where each account is in the invitation and approval lifecycle. A user's role and what they can do comes from the [groups](/features/user-roles) they belong to — see [User roles](/features/user-roles).

## Filtering

Above the list, filter chips narrow it by lifecycle state: **All**, **Approved**, **Unapproved**, **Registered**, and **Unregistered**. Combine these with **Search** to find an account quickly.

## Columns

| Column                                          | What it is                                                                        |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**                                        | The user's full name.                                                             |
| **Email**                                       | The login email (also the username).                                              |
| **Territory**                                   | The [territory](/features/admin/territories) the user is associated with, if any. |
| **Groups**                                      | The [groups](/features/admin/groups) the user belongs to, shown as tags.          |
| **Created At**                                  | When the account was created.                                                     |
| **Invited / Approved / Registered / Confirmed** | The account's lifecycle flags (see below).                                        |
| **Actions**                                     | **Impersonate**, **Edit**, **Delete**.                                            |

## Editing a user

The user form has these fields:

* **Full Name**
* **Email** — set at creation and **locked when editing**.
* **Territory** — the user's associated region.
* **Groups** — the groups the user belongs to; this is how membership is granted.
* **Approve** — marks the account as approved.

## Account lifecycle

A standard (**member**) account becomes fully enabled once it is **invited**, **approved**, **registered**, and **confirmed**. A **guest** account — a limited account invited to specific [shares](/features/shares) — is enabled once it is approved. The four status icons in the list let you see at a glance where any account is in that process.

<Tip>
  **Impersonate** lets an administrator view the platform as that user — useful for diagnosing access problems. What a user can see and do is governed by their groups and [permissions](/features/admin/permissions), not set directly on the user.
