#Introduction

The Users page is where admins create and manage users who need access to Managed Studio and assigned machines.

The role options shown in the interface are Support Engineer, Administrator and Artist.

#Create a new user

To create a new user:

1. Open Users
2. Click New
3. Enter the full name
4. Enter the email address
5. Choose the role
6. Keep Send an activation email selected
7. Set Account name to the same value as the email address
8. Assign the required machine or machines
9. Click Create user

Using the email address as the account name keeps remote access simpler for users.

#Assign machines to a user

To assign machines to a user:

1. Open a user profile
2. In the Assigned machines section click Assign machines
3. Scroll down to the Assigned machines section
4. Search and select the machine or machines
5. Click Save changes

Once assigned, those machines appear on the user's Dashboard.

#Suspend or unsuspend a user

Suspending a user stops them from signing in to Managed Studio without deleting their account. If they are signed in when they are suspended, they are signed out straight away. Their account, role and assigned machines are kept, so everything is back in place when they are unsuspended.

To suspend a user:

1. Open Users
2. Open the user context menu at the end of their row
3. Click Suspend

To unsuspend a user, follow the same steps and click Unsuspend.

You can also suspend or unsuspend a user from the context menu on their profile page. Suspended users are shown with a Suspended badge in the Users list.

Suspending and unsuspending users are recorded in the Audit logs.

#Quick actions

The context menu at the end of each row in the Users list includes View, Edit, Suspend or Unsuspend and Delete, so common actions can be performed without opening each user.
