Users

The Users module is the central hub for managing all user accounts in ThetaSecure — from provisioning and profile management to search, filtering, and deprovisioning.

Navigation: Sidebar → Identity Management → Users

User List

The Users page displays a paginated table of all user accounts in ThetaSecure. The header shows the total count (e.g., "Showing 1 to 10 of 56") with page navigation.

Table Columns

Column	Description
User	Avatar (initials), full name, and email address
Username	Unique login identifier (e.g., dev, user00006)
Status	Account status displayed as a colored badge
Source	Origin of the account — Local (orange) or Active Directory (blue)
Created	When the account was created (e.g., "5 days ago")
Actions	Quick action icons for View, Edit, and Delete

Action Icons

Each user row has three action buttons on the right:

Icon	Action	Description
👁	View	Opens the user detail side panel
✏️	Edit	Opens the user edit form
🗑	Delete	Deletes/deprovisions the user account

View Modes

Toggle between two display modes using the View switcher in the toolbar:

• Table (default) — Compact tabular list with sortable columns, ideal for managing large user sets
• Cards — Visual card layout showing user profiles

Additional display controls:

• Compact / Comfortable — Adjust row density in table view

Searching & Filtering

Use the search bar and filter dropdowns to quickly find users:

Control	Options	Description
Search bar	Free text	Search by username or email address
Status filter	All Status	Filter by account status (Active, Inactive, Locked, etc.)
Source filter	All Sources	Filter by account origin (Local, Active Directory)
Search button	—	Execute the search with current filters

The search supports partial matching — for example, searching user00010 returns only "Charles Smith" with username user00010.

Pagination

Control how many users appear per page using the pagination bar at the bottom:

Option	Description
10 (default)	Show 10 users per page
20	Show 20 users per page
50	Show 50 users per page
100	Show 100 users per page
Previous / Next	Navigate between pages

The current position is displayed as "Page X of Y" (e.g., "Page 1 of 6").

User Detail Panel

Click the View (👁) action or click on a user row to open the detail side panel:

The detail panel displays:

Basic Information

Field	Description
Username	Unique identifier (e.g., user00010)
Display Name	Full name (e.g., "Charles Smith")
Status	Active status badge

Email Addresses

Shows the user's email address with type label (e.g., user00010@thetasecure.com — Work, Primary).

Roles

Displays assigned roles as tags. Example: basic_user (direct) — the "(direct)" label indicates the role was assigned directly to the user rather than inherited through a group.

Groups

Shows group memberships as tags (e.g., SecurityGroup2).

Access Policies

Lists any access policies applied to the user. If none are assigned, it shows "No policies assigned."

Name Details

Field	Value
Given Name	First name (e.g., "Charles")
Family Name	Last name (e.g., "Smith")

Metadata

Field	Value
Created	Account creation timestamp (e.g., 03/02/2026, 07:30:01)
Last Modified	Last update timestamp (e.g., 06/02/2026, 07:30:00)

The panel provides two actions at the bottom:

• Edit User — Opens the full edit form
• Close — Closes the side panel

Adding a New User

Click the + Add User button in the top-right corner to open the Add New User form:

Required Information

Field	Placeholder	Description
Username*	john.doe@example.com	Unique identifier for the user
Display Name*	John Doe	Full display name
Primary Email*	john.doe@example.com	Primary email address
Password	Secure password (optional)	Set a password, or leave empty to send a password reset email

tip

Leave the password field empty to automatically send the user a password reset email. This is the recommended approach for security, as it ensures the user sets their own password.

User Sources

Users in ThetaSecure can originate from two sources:

Source	Badge Color	Description
Local	Orange	Manually created within ThetaSecure
Active Directory	Blue	Synchronized via Directory Sync from an external directory

warning

Users imported from Active Directory are managed by the directory sync process. Changes to these users' core attributes (name, email, groups) should be made in the source directory, not directly in ThetaSecure, to avoid sync conflicts.

Best Practices

• Review user accounts regularly — Use the status filter to identify inactive or locked accounts that may need attention
• Use Directory Sync for large organizations — Rather than creating users manually, sync from Active Directory for automatic lifecycle management
• Audit privileged accounts — Sort by roles to verify that only authorized users hold administrative roles
• Monitor the Created column — Recently created accounts should be verified, especially local accounts that were not provisioned through directory sync
• Leverage groups — Instead of managing users individually, assign them to groups and manage access at the group level
