The Users List is where you manage your account permissions, user Profiles, and Team assignments for your organization's staff members. The page has three lists, Logins, Profiles, and Teams, where you can perform a variety of administrative actions (e.g., create Teams, assign permissions) to manage your staff's user accounts.
To manage your organization's user accounts:
- Access the Admin interface.
- Navigate to Settings > Users.
TIP: On list pages, click a column header to sort on that column; click again to reverse the sort order. Click the columns count below the list to add and remove columns in the current view.
The Logins list displays all the users in your organization. If not already on this list, click the down arrow to the right of the page title and select Logins to view it.
Preview Panel
To perform any actions on a user, you need to first select them in the list. Two things happen when you do: the Preview Panel expands and the Permissions and Enterprise buttons above the list become enabled. Click the user record again to deselect it.
In the Preview Panel, you can see the user's email address, and view and edit their first and last names (editable items are indicated by a dashed underline). You can also assign a Permissions Profile from the menu and check or uncheck the Administrator box to grant/remove those privileges.
NOTE: If the user has been assigned to a Profile, you cannot change the Administrator setting.
NOTE: The Cancel and Save buttons will appear at the bottom of the Preview Panel only if you make changes in the panel.
TIP: Navigate to Settings > Permissions > Admin Users for a list of all users with Admin privileges in your organization.
Manage Permissions
- Select a login and click Permissions.
- The available permissions are grouped by category. Click a group to expand it and view its options (more than 100 permissions are available, so you may need to drill down multiple levels to find the permission you're looking for).
See the Permission Categories section of the User Permissions article for descriptions of each permission.
- Check/uncheck boxes to grant/remove a permission OR click a setting with a dashed underline (_ _ _) and select a different value.
Manage Enterprise assignments
The Enterprise feature allows you to easily share assets between members of your account. Each asset (e.g., messages, groups, and campaigns) is "owned" by the individual who created it. However, you can use shared logins and Teams to enable users to share and collaborate on these assets with one another.
To manage a user's Enterprise assignments:
- Select a login in the list and click Enterprise.
- In the dialog, click the hyperlinks (# login and # team) to access the Shared logins and Select teams dialogs.
- In the Shared logins dialog, check the boxes to enable this user to collaborate on the selected users' assets. Click Select to save your changes and close the dialog.
- In the Select teams dialog, check the boxes for the Teams you want the user to be part of. After being assigned to a Team, a user's assets become visible to and usable by the other members of that Team. Additionally, those other Team members can also collaborate on those assets. Click Select to save your changes and close the dialog.
- After making your selections, click Assign to apply your selections.
Confirm your selections
After saving your selections, you should confirm them to ensure the applicable user has access to the assets they're supposed to. To confirm your:

- Review the Logins list to ensure the user login has been added.

Notifications
IMPORTANT: An admin must communicate to each new user what their User Name is. Users will need this when they log in to set their password.
A "Higher Logic Real Magnet Password Setup" email message will be automatically sent to the user at the specified email address.
A link in the message will direct the user to a set-password screen. Here, the user can set their own private password.
Disable a Login
Admin users can disable a login. When a login is disabled, it is permanently removed from this list.

A "reset password" email message will be automatically sent to the user at the specified email address.

Manage Profiles
Permissions Profiles enable you to build a set of predefined permissions and then assign that batch of permissions to users, rather than having to individually assign permissions to multiple users.

Manage Teams
Teams make it easier for you to simultaneously apply an action or a policy to multiple users who have been grouped into a Team due to a commonality, such as being in the same department or in the same office.
