Users

Manage every account on the instance from the Users admin page. You can search the full list, open an account to see and edit its details, create new users, approve people who are waiting to join, and take actions such as suspending, promoting, impersonating, or deleting an account. A companion Pending users page holds accounts that have registered but are not yet approved.

Where to find it

• URL: gitvetrix.com/admin/users (pending approvals at gitvetrix.com/admin/users/pending)
• Navigation: Open your avatar menu in the top navigation bar, select Admin panel, then choose Users under Access & Security. Select Pending in the same group to reach the approval queue.

The list shows every account, 50 to a page, with columns for User (avatar, username, and email), Role, Status, Joined, Last active, Group, and Actions. Use the pagination control below the table to move between pages.

Search for a user

1. In the search box above the table, type part of a username or email.
2. The list filters as you type. Clear the box to show every account again.

Create a user

1. Select Create User in the top-right of the page. The Create User dialog opens.
2. Enter a Username and Email.
3. Enter a Password. It must be at least 8 characters.
4. To give the account administrator access, select Administrator.
5. Select Create User. The new account appears in the list. To close the dialog without creating anyone, select Cancel.

Reassign a user's group

1. In the Group column, select the group dropdown on the user's row.
2. Choose a group. The user moves to that group immediately.

See User groups for what each group grants.

Open and edit a user

1. Select a username in the list to open that account's detail page.
2. The page opens on the Profile tab, alongside Repositories and Audit tabs.
3. On the Profile tab, select Edit in the User details panel.
4. Change the Email, Display name, or Administrator setting. The username is fixed and cannot be changed.
5. Select Save changes, or Cancel to discard your edits.

The Repositories tab lists the repositories the user owns, each marked Public or Private. The Audit tab has an Open audit log for <username> button that takes you to the instance audit log filtered to that user.

Suspend or reactivate a user

1. On the user's row, select Suspend (or Unsuspend for an already-suspended account). You can also do this from the Actions panel on the detail page.
2. In the confirmation dialog, confirm the action. A suspended user cannot sign in or use the API until you reactivate them.

You cannot suspend your own account. On your own detail page, the Suspend control in the Actions panel is disabled.

Grant or revoke administrator access

1. On the user's row, select Make Admin (or Revoke Admin to remove it).
2. In the confirmation dialog, confirm. An administrator has full access to every admin feature, including user management.

You cannot change your own administrator status; the control is disabled on your own row.

Reset a user's password

1. Open the user and, in the Actions panel, select Reset password.
2. Enter a New password of at least 8 characters. Use the show/hide toggle to check what you typed.
3. To sign the user out everywhere, select Also revoke all active tokens.
4. Select Reset password for <username>, or Cancel to close without changing anything.

To sign a user out of every session without changing their password, select Revoke all tokens in the Actions panel instead and confirm.

Impersonate a user

1. On the user's row, select Impersonate.
2. Read the warning in the confirmation dialog. You will act as the user until you end the session, the session expires automatically after four hours, and the action is logged.
3. Confirm to start impersonating. A warning banner reading Impersonating: <username> appears at the top of every page.
4. To return to your own account, select Stop impersonating <username> in that banner.

Delete a user

1. On the user's row, or from the Actions panel on the detail page, select Delete.
2. In the confirmation dialog, type the user's username exactly. The confirm button stays disabled until it matches.
3. Select Delete user <username>. The account and everything it owns are removed permanently. This cannot be undone.

You cannot delete your own account. On your own detail page, the Delete user control in the Actions panel is disabled.

Approve people who are waiting to join

The Pending page lists accounts that have registered and are awaiting approval. The header shows how many are waiting, and the table has columns for Username, Email, Submitted, Group, and Actions.

• To let someone in, select Approve on their row and confirm. This activates the account and sends an approval email.
• To turn someone down, select Reject and confirm. You can add an optional reason in the dialog; the person is notified and removed from the queue.
• To remove a signup without notifying the person, select Delete and confirm. This is permanent.
