# User Management
> Manage users and profiles in Fentu Connect
## Overview
User Management in Fentu Connect allows you to create and manage user accounts, assign permissions through profiles, and control access to different features of the application.
***
## Users
The Users page displays all user accounts with:
| Column | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Avatar** | User profile picture |
| **Name** | User's display name |
| **Email** | User's email address (used for login) |
| **Actions** | Edit or delete the user |
### Creating a User
To create a new user:
1. Click the **New** button from the Users list
2. Fill in the required fields
3. Click **Save**
| Field | Description | Required |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Name** | The user's full display name | Yes |
| **Email** | Email address used for login | Yes |
| **Password** | Account password | Yes |
| **Confirm Password** | Re-enter password for verification | Yes |
| **Avatar** | Upload a profile picture (optional) | No |
Use business email addresses for user accounts. This makes it easier to manage access when employees leave the organization.
### Editing a User
1. Find the user in the list
2. Click the edit icon in the Actions column
3. Modify the fields (leave password blank to keep existing)
4. Click **Save**
### Deleting a User
1. Find the user in the list
2. Click the delete icon in the Actions column
3. Confirm the deletion
Deleting a user is permanent. Consider deactivating users instead if you may need to restore access later.

## Profiles
Profiles define sets of permissions that can be assigned to users. Each profile controls which features and menu items a user can access.
### Profile List
| Column | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
| **Name** | The profile name |
| **Actions** | Edit or delete the profile |
### Profile Detail
Click on a profile to view its details:
* **Edit Button** - Modify profile settings
* **Delete Button** - Remove the profile
* **Details Tab** - View profile information
### Creating a Profile
1. Click **New** from the Profiles list
2. Enter a name and description
3. Configure permissions
4. Click **Save**
### Editing a Profile
1. Navigate to the profile detail
2. Click the **Edit** button
3. Configure the profile settings
| Field | Description |
| --------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Name** | Display name for the profile |
| **Description** | Notes about the profile's purpose |
### Permission Checkboxes
The profile edit form shows a list of features with checkboxes:
| Permission | Description |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Visible** | Master toggle for visibility |
| **Home** | Access to the home dashboard |
| **Connect Wizard** | Access to the Connect Wizard |
| **Connector Set** | Access to Connector Set management |
| **Connection Config** | Access to Connection Configuration |
| **Connector** | Access to Connector management |
| **Connect Object** | Access to Connect Object management |
| **Inbound** | Access to Inbound connections |
| **Outbound** | Access to Outbound connections |
| **Users** | Access to User management |
| **Profiles** | Access to Profile management |
Checked permissions grant access; unchecked permissions hide those features from users with this profile.
### Deleting a Profile
1. Navigate to the profile detail or list
2. Click the delete icon or Delete button
3. Confirm the deletion
Deleting a profile may affect users assigned to it. Reassign users to a different profile before deleting.

## Profile Configuration Best Practices
Design profiles around job functions:
* **Administrator** - Full access to all features
* **Integration Manager** - Access to connections and objects, no user management
* **Viewer** - Read-only access to monitor sync status
Give users only the permissions they need:
* Not everyone needs access to Connection Config (credentials)
* Viewer roles shouldn't need edit capabilities
* User management should be restricted to administrators
Use the description field to explain:
* Who should have this profile
* What access it provides
* When it was last reviewed
Audit profiles and user assignments regularly:
* Remove access for departed employees
* Adjust permissions as job roles change
* Review administrator access quarterly

## Common User Management Scenarios
1. Create a new user account with their email
2. Set a temporary password
3. Assign the appropriate profile based on their role
4. Have them change their password on first login
1. Review the user's current profile
2. Either assign them to a different profile, or
3. Create a new profile if their access needs are unique
1. Immediately delete or deactivate the user account
2. Review any connections they managed
3. Transfer ownership of integrations if needed
For sensitive operations like Connection Config (which stores credentials):
1. Create a restricted profile without Connection Config access
2. Assign to users who don't need to manage credentials
3. Only grant Connection Config access to trusted administrators
***
## Common Questions
Edit the user and enter a new password in the password fields. The user will need to use the new password on their next login.
Users are typically assigned one profile at a time. If a user needs a unique combination of permissions, create a new profile for their specific needs.
Be careful not to delete or restrict all administrator accounts. Always maintain at least one account with full administrative access.
Check with your system administrator for audit log capabilities. User activity tracking may be available through system logs.
