Use the **Admin → Users** page to add people to your Cube account,
change their roles, and control what they can access.

<Info>

Only users with the Admin role can manage other users.

</Info>

## The user list

The user list displays all users in your account along with their roles
and status. Use the search bar to filter users by name or email.

## Inviting users

To invite a new user:

1. Navigate to **Admin → Users**.
2. Click **Add User**.
3. Enter the user's email address.
4. Select a [role][ref-roles] for the user: Admin, Developer, Explorer, or
   Viewer.
5. Optionally, assign one or more [custom roles][ref-custom-roles].
6. Click **Create** to send the invitation.

After the user is created, an invitation link is generated. You can copy the
link and share it with the user. The user must visit the link to set their
password and activate their account.

### Resending invitations

If a user hasn't activated their account, you can resend or copy the
invitation link from the user list.

## Managing individual users

Click on a user in the user list to access their settings page. From here,
you can:

- Update the user's name
- Change their [role][ref-roles] (Admin, Developer, Explorer, or Viewer)
- Assign or remove [custom roles][ref-custom-roles]
- Add the user to [user groups][ref-groups]
- Set [user attribute][ref-attributes] values for data access control

### Changing a user's role

To change a user's role:

1. Navigate to **Admin → Users** and click on the user.
2. Select a new role from the role dropdown.
3. Save the changes.

Alternatively, you can change a user's role directly from the user list
using the role dropdown.

<Info>

Admin roles are billed at the developer rate.

</Info>

## Deactivating and reactivating users

Deactivating a user revokes their access to Cube without permanently
removing their account. The user's active sessions are terminated immediately.

To deactivate a user:

1. Navigate to **Admin → Users**.
2. Click the actions menu for the user.
3. Select **Deactivate**.

<Warning>

You cannot deactivate yourself or the last active Admin user.

</Warning>

To reactivate a deactivated user, follow the same steps and select
**Activate**. The user can then log in again with their existing credentials.

## Deleting users

Deleting a user permanently removes their account from Cube.

To delete a user:

1. Navigate to **Admin → Users**.
2. Click the actions menu for the user.
3. Select **Delete**.

<Warning>

You cannot delete your own account. Deleting a user is irreversible.

</Warning>

## Provisioning users via SCIM

If your organization uses an identity provider such as [Okta][ref-okta] or
[Microsoft Entra ID][ref-entra-id], you can automate user provisioning and
deprovisioning through SCIM. See the [SSO & Identity Providers][ref-sso]
documentation for setup instructions.

Users created via SCIM — and users auto-provisioned on first SAML
login — receive the **Viewer** role by default. To assign a different
default role (including [custom roles][ref-custom-roles]), configure
**Default role for new users** in the **Advanced** section of your SAML
configuration. The setting is shared between SAML and SCIM.
