Users & Permissions overview

The Users & Permissions page is the place to start when you need administrative access information. It currently presents a placeholder for user management and directs membership work to organization settings.

The page identifies the area with the subtitle Manage users, roles, and access control. Its status message is Coming soon. The page also states: User management functionality is currently under development. This page will allow you to manage users, assign roles, and control access permissions.

The Admin Dashboard is the administrative hub for these entry points. When no signed-in user name is available, the Admin Dashboard uses the subtitle Central hub for system administration and management.

Before you start

Before opening this surface, decide whether you need orientation or membership management. Use Users & Permissions for orientation. Use Organization overview for membership management.

The page displays this guidance: Until then, manage membership from your organization settings.
