# User Management

> Manage organization members, set spending limits, and track user activity

User Management in Requesty allows administrators to manage organization members, control spending, and track user activity across your organization.

<Note>
  **[Manage users](https://app.requesty.ai/admin-panel/users)** in the Requesty Console.
</Note>

## Core Capabilities

### User Listing & Overview

View all organization users with comprehensive sorting and filtering options to manage your team effectively.

**Key Features:**

* Complete user directory with activity status
* Sorting and filtering capabilities
* Bulk selection for group operations
* Real-time spending and limit tracking

### User Status Types

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Active Users">
    **Active Status**: User has a private context and can make API calls - Currently able to use Requesty services - Has established API
    access - Appears with active indicator in user list
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Inactive Users">
    **Inactive Status**: User exists in organization but no private context yet - Organization member but hasn't started using services - No
    API access established yet - Shown with inactive indicator
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Admin Controls

### Bulk Operations

Efficiently manage multiple users simultaneously:

* **Bulk Group Assignment**: Select multiple users and add them to groups
* **Default Limits**: Set monthly spending limits for new users
* **Mass Updates**: Apply changes across selected users

### Individual User Controls

**Spending Management:**

* Set individual monthly spending limits per user
* Track current month spending vs limits
* View spending history and trends

**Group Management:**

* View all groups user belongs to (displayed as badges)
* Add/remove users from specific groups
* Manage group-based access controls

**Activity Monitoring:**

* See user's current activity status
* Track API usage patterns
* Monitor context and session data

## Organization Configuration

### Global Settings

* **Default Monthly Limit**: Set automatic spending limits for new organization members
* **Organization Policies**: Configure global rules and restrictions
* **Access Controls**: Manage organization-wide permissions

### User-Group Relationship

The user management system integrates closely with groups and API keys:

```mermaid theme={"dark"}
graph TD
    A[Organization] --> B[Users]
    A --> C[Groups]
    B --> D[Monthly Limits]
    B --> E[Activity Status]
    C --> F[API Keys]
    F --> G[Features]

    B -.-> C
    C -.-> H[Spending Tracking]
```

**How It Works:**

1. **Users** are organization members with individual spending limits
2. **Groups** are collections of users for easier management
3. **API Keys** can be associated with groups/users for access control
4. **Features** on API keys affect what users in those groups can do

## Example Workflow

Here's a typical admin workflow for managing users:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Group">Admin creates an "Engineering" group for development team</Step>
  <Step title="Add Users">Add engineers (users) to the Engineering group</Step>
  <Step title="Configure API Keys">Create API key with specific features enabled for the group</Step>
  <Step title="Set Limits">Configure monthly spending limits for users</Step>
  <Step title="Monitor Usage">Track spending per user and per group</Step>
</Steps>

## Spending Control & Monitoring

### Monthly Limits

* Set individual spending limits per user
* Configure default limits for new users
* Automatic alerts when approaching limits
* Spending cutoffs when limits are reached

### Usage Tracking

* Real-time spending monitoring
* Monthly spend vs limit comparisons
* Historical usage patterns
* Group-level spending aggregation

<Note>User spending limits help control costs while group assignments enable efficient access management and feature distribution.</Note>
