User Management

User Management in Consultia provides comprehensive tools for managing user accounts, roles, permissions, and access control. This system ensures secure access to system features while maintaining proper user organization and accountability.

Overview

User Management enables you to create and manage user accounts, assign roles and permissions, control access to system features, and maintain user activity tracking. The system provides granular control over user access and comprehensive user administration tools.

Last login visibility

Who: IT administrators managing the company team on /users.

Why: Spot inactive or unused accounts and confirm whether someone has signed in, without checking server logs.

What / where: On Company Account → Your Team, the users table includes a Last login column. Each cell shows a formatted date and time after a successful sign-in (email/password, Google, or Microsoft/Azure AD), or - when the user has never signed in.

How it works: The timestamp updates automatically when authentication succeeds. Click Last login to sort; accounts that have never signed in stay at the end of the list.
