Other context menu actions
Section titled “Other context menu actions”- Edit password: lets an administrator change a user’s password, typically after they’ve forgotten it.
- Delete: removes the user from the platform.
- Variables: opens the user-specific Variables editor, used to personalize app behavior per user.
- Configure managed users: lets administrators set up impersonation, so another employee can temporarily take over an unavailable colleague’s account without sharing passwords. Both individual users and groups can be assigned. Once configured, access is available immediately, and the assigned user can switch accounts via Run as user in the web app or mobile app. Run as user is only visible when the user may impersonate at least one other user.
- Associations: a read-only overview of how the user is authorized in each collection: which collections they can access, which roles they hold there, and the resulting effective permissions across modules, dashboards, forms, agents, dataclips, dataflows, and MCPs. Expanding a permission shows which role granted it. This view is for inspection and troubleshooting only.
- Tokens: a read-only overview of the user’s active sessions, showing login date and time, client type, browser or app, operating system, and version info where available. Administrators can use this for auditing and troubleshooting, but cannot revoke a session from here: users manage and revoke their own sessions from the web app or mobile app.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Access to the Users page requires either platform administrator rights or the User management permission.
- Disable a user account instead of deleting it when someone leaves the organization.
- Enforce MFA by turning off Allowed to disable MFA.
- Use Configure managed users instead of sharing passwords for temporary account access.
- Check the Associations window when troubleshooting authorization issues.
- Check the Tokens window when investigating unexpected logins.
