Administration
Users
Inspect user accounts, search rosters, and manage roles and permissions.
User Management
The Users view in the Admin Control Center (/admin/users) provides tools to inspect registered accounts, view activity history, and adjust access levels.
Searching and Filtering
Administrators can navigate large rosters of users using the toolbar controls:
- Instant Search: Matches real-time against first name, last name, and email address.
- Status Filter: Filter users by operational state:
- All Users
- Active (in good standing)
- Timed Out (temporarily restricted)
- Banned (permanently barred)
- Role Filter: Group users by
user,moderator, orsuper_admin.
User Detail Roster
Each user record provides key diagnostic attributes:
- User Identity: Full name, email address, and authentication provider (
emailvsgoogle). - Role Badge: Visual indicator of current permissions (
User,Moderator,Super Admin). - Quota Usage: Live tally of links created in the current month vs quota ceiling.
- Account Timestamps: Account creation date, profile update date, and last recorded login timestamp.
Role Assignment (Super Admin Only)
super_admin accounts have exclusive authority to assign or revoke administrative permissions via the role management dropdown:
[ Promote User ]
├── Make Moderator -> Grants access to link/user moderation and report queues
├── Make Super Admin -> Grants complete system ownership and audit log viewing
└── Demote to User -> Restricts account to standard registered user limits
Exercise extreme care when promoting accounts to
super_admin. Super Admins can manage all user roles and view security audit logs.
