Changes to the user management interface in the Admin console

What’s changing 

We’re making some changes to the interface you use to manage users in the Admin console. Specifically you may notice the following updates when you go to Admin console > Users:

  • New text buttons for user management. The buttons that appear when you hover over a user in the user list have been changed from icons to text. 
  • New text links to add users. You can now use text buttons at the top of the table. These replace the ‘+’ button that was previously used to add users. 
  • Dynamic table title bar. There are now different options displayed in the table depending on whether you have any rows selected (see image below). 


See below for more details and images of the new interface.

Who’s impacted 

Admins only

Why you’d use it 

These changes will make it easier to find common user management features and therefore manage users more quickly through the Admin console.

How to get started 




Additional details 

New text buttons for user management 

Instead of icon buttons, you’ll now have text buttons to complete common user management functions, such as resetting passwords, renaming users, adding to groups, and more.


New text links to add users 

To add users individually or in bulk, use the text links at the top of the user table. Note that these options change when rows are selected (see ‘dynamic table title bar,’ below).


A new way to add users
