Managing users

Before people can sign in and use ThoughtSpot, you need to create a username, a password, and a membership in one or more groups for them. Use the Admin Console to easily create and manage your users.

This article contains instructions for managing users in a single tenant environment. If you do not have an Org switcher between the help icon and the Search answers and Liveboards search box, your company is in a single tenant environment.

If your company uses the Orgs feature for multi-tenancy in ThoughtSpot, you can see an Org switcher to the left of the help icon in the top navigation bar. Refer to Managing users in a multi-tenant environment.

Refer to Understand groups and privileges to learn about the privileges you can assign to a user.

To manage users, navigate to the Admin Console by selecting the Admin tab from the top navigation bar. Select Users from the side navigation bar that appears.

Admin Console - Users

Use the Admin Console to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Create a user by selecting the + Add User button

  • Manage an existing user by selecting the user you would like to edit: change the username, display name, sharing visibility, password, or email, or resend or test the welcome email

  • Delete a user by hovering over a username, clicking the checkbox that appears, and selecting the Delete button

  • Add a user or users to groups by hovering over a username, clicking the checkbox that appears, and selecting the Add users to groups button

Refer to Create, edit, or delete a user for more detail on how to create and manage users.
