Read a user's assigned roles in the Users list

Review an existing account's identity, role badges and joined date without opening its editor.

Workflow checked in the documentation demo: . Screens and access can vary by installed version and role.

Overview

The Users list provides a quick account and role check. This guide stops at the existing list: it does not create users, open Manage, change roles or reset passwords.

Before You Start

  • Sign in with access to Users (modules.users.view). The illustrated session uses superadmin; this does not imply every role sees these controls.
  • Know the name of the existing account you need to review.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open the Users list

    Expand Portal in the left sidebar and select Users, or open /users in SeaVesselManager.

    Wait for the existing account rows to load. Read the Name, Email, Roles and Joined column headings.

    Users list with Name, Email, Roles and Joined column headings highlighted
    The highlighted headings identify the account details available without entering an editor.

  2. Read the account row and role badge

    Locate the existing user's row and compare the name and username before reading Roles.

    In the illustrated demo, Anders Lie has username alie and a Master role badge. Your account names and assignments will differ.

    Leave Manage, the trash icon and the create-user icon untouched.

    Read the assigned role directly from the row; no account editor is needed.

Result

You have identified an existing account and read its assigned role badges without changing the account.

FAQs

Do I need to click Manage to read a role?

No. The Roles column shows the assigned role badges in the list. Manage opens editing controls and is not part of this read-only procedure.
