A user is someone who signs in to Pyn to build flows, read activity or manage settings. Employees in the Directory are not users unless they are invited. The **Current Users** view lists everyone with access; **Inactive Users** lists deactivated accounts.

![Settings > General > Current Users lists everyone who can sign in, with role and status.](https://support.pynhq.com/media/settings/users/settings-users-current.png)

## Roles

| Role | What it adds | Who can assign it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **User** (shown as **Limited User** when inviting) | Read access to Journey, Library and Activity; can pause and unpause enrollments and messages. | Admins and owners |
| **Power User** (shown as **Power**) | Everything User has, plus Flows: create and publish automations and campaigns, and view form submissions. | Admins and owners |
| **Admin** | Everything Power User has, plus Directory, Addons and Settings: integrations, senders, users and role changes. Admins cannot change an owner or make someone an owner. | Admins and owners |
| **Owner** | Everything, including assigning and changing other owners. The person who created the workspace is an owner. | Owners |

Each role inherits the ones below it. A user holds one role at a time; assigning a new one replaces the old.

## The Current Users table

Columns are **User** (with "(You)" after your own name), **Email address**, **Last Seen**, **Role** and **Status**. Pyn staff who have been given access show a **Support** chip. The **Invite** button in the top right is where new users start.

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Pending** | Invited but has not signed in. The **...** menu offers **Resend Invite**. |
| **Active** | Has signed in and can use the workspace. |
| **Inactive** | Deactivated; listed under Inactive Users. |

## What you can do here

- [Invite a user](https://support.pynhq.com/settings/users/invite-a-user/) by email with a role
- [Change a user's role](https://support.pynhq.com/settings/users/change-a-users-role/) from the **...** menu
- [Remove a user's access](https://support.pynhq.com/settings/users/remove-a-users-access/) by archiving them

With single sign-on configured and group mappings set, your identity provider decides roles at each sign-in; see [Single sign-on](https://support.pynhq.com/integrations/sso/).
