Managing Users

Click Users in the left navigation. The page has two panels:

  • Left panel — OU tree and user list with search and filter controls
  • Right panel — action panel for the selected account(s)

The OU tree on the left mirrors your directory structure. Click an OU to scope the user list to that container (and all sub-OUs). Click the root node to see all accounts in scope.

Type in the search bar at the top of the user list to filter by display name, SAMAccountName, or email address. The search is live — results narrow as you type.

Use the Status filter chips above the user list to show only accounts matching a state:

FilterShows
AllEvery account in scope
ActiveEnabled accounts with no issues
LockedAccounts currently locked out
DisabledDeactivated accounts
RiskyAccounts with an elevated risk score
  • Single select — click a row.
  • Multi-select — hold Ctrl and click additional rows, or click one row then Shift+click another to select a range.
  • Select all visible — press Ctrl+A.

The action panel on the right updates to show actions available for your selection.

The safety lock prevents accidental bulk writes. Before any write action is available, you must click the lock icon in the action panel and confirm the prompt. The lock re-engages automatically after each action.

Forest-critical accounts (Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, krbtgt, and similar) cannot be unlocked by the safety lock — they are permanently protected.

All actions are recorded immediately in the Audit Log.

Click the chevron on a selected row (or double-click the row) to expand the detail pane. It shows:

  • Display name, SAMAccountName, email, title, department
  • Account status and last logon date
  • Risk score and the contributing factors
  • The last 5 audit entries for that account
