Users ​

Users represent the distinct people (and entities) that interact with your project. Each user can be assigned a role, which defines a user's access permissions.

Within the Data Studio, the User Directory is the primary place to manage users. However, certain controls are included in Settings > Access Control > [Role] as well, which is what the following sections will focus on.
