How to View Users and Remove Their Access

How to view users, reset their MFA, and remove their access in the Webscale Control Panel

Access to Webscale accounts are controlled via Roles and Groups. For users with admin type permissions, the Users page facilitates easy viewing of the users that have a role or group defined in an account. In addition, the Users page allows easy resetting of a user’s MFA, removal of all a user’s access to an account, and revoking an individual invitation from a role or group.

The table on the Users page displays information about each user: their email which functions as their unique identifier, their name, when they were created, and the last time they changed their password. Click on a user’s row to display the roles and groups that user has been invited to as as well as when the invite was sent and accepted.

On the Users page within a particular account called the Users account, Webscale administrators can utilize four additional features: view all users across all accounts, view users with removed access, view a user’s roles and groups across all accounts, and remove a user’s access from all accounts.
