Users

Overview

The Users feature in LogCentral allows you to manage and view user access within your organization. This page provides visibility into who has access to your organization and their associated permissions.

Accessing the Users Page

To access the Users feature:

Navigate to /organizations/:orgId/users (where :orgId is your organization’s unique identifier)
You’ll need appropriate permissions within your organization to view this page

Note: The specific navigation path within the application interface may vary. Look for a Users or Team section in your organization’s menu.

Understanding User Permissions

LogCentral uses a role-based permission system to control what users can do within your organization. The system aligns with backend permission controls to ensure consistent access management across the platform.

Permission Levels

User permissions are determined by their role within the organization:

Organization Owner: Full administrative access to all organization features
Organization Member: Access levels vary based on specific feature permissions

Permissions are checked dynamically based on the user’s role and the current organization context.

Common Use Cases

Viewing Organization Users

The Users page displays information about users who have access to your organization. This helps you:

See who has access to your organization’s data
Understand the current team structure
Monitor user activity through audit logs

Audit Trail

User actions within your organization are tracked through audit logs. Each audit log entry includes:

User ID: The user who performed the action
Organization ID: The organization context
Action: What was performed
Timestamp: When the action occurred
Unique ID: For tracking and reference

This audit trail helps maintain accountability and track changes within your organization.
