# Managing User Permissions

## Overview

The Users overview appears in its own tab ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp). From here, you can view all users, add new users, manage permissions, and delete accounts.

![](/files/rZFMnBvySubTKoVOazvb)

You can search for a user by name ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) or filter users by groups, roles, or channels ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS).

The table lists usernames ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J), the groups ![](/files/dOZlcoZrhcFshT4JyY3F) each user belongs to, and any individual roles ![](/files/afMFqoHYxlD3P4x4s54e) assigned.

> Any roles a group assigns to the user are not visible from this list.
>
> If a user is part of the **Administrator** group, they have all roles and access to every channel.

Additional columns show which channels the user can access ![](/files/heY1jGf0d6KIgQt5tmq5) and when the user was last active ![](/files/OafifViaQkQ4QbI1JAeE).

To modify an existing user account, click the **pencil icon** ![](/files/XtZWDMJkCYzCx31NsA5Z).

To delete a user, click the **x icon** ![](/files/1XqRxMUifYik4JMWyopV). You can also select one or more users with the checkboxes ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) and click **Delete selected user** ![](/files/vnDHuLlQwAzDEixxumZT).

## Creating a new user

To add a new user, click **Add a User** ![](/files/QuCuzIH0LgT2TFU0dgLy).

On the next page, set the username and password.

![](/files/TaaW5X2wnTenSGd9l4FO)

Then assign groups, roles, and channels to the new user. Each new user must have at least one group or role and at least one channel.

![](/files/Fgvn6qKGJcEqSwGxrxRm)

You can also set a default language for the user and enable Single Sign-On.

If needed, you can hide inactive modules. If **advanced mode** is disabled, the user cannot access pages that require deeper FactFinder knowledge.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/system-maintenance-and-security/factfinder-ng-user-management/managing-user-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
