The article walks you through the two key steps to get started with ahead’s new User Management area: getting permission and accessing it from the main navigation. 

Step 1: Getting permission

Users who need access to the User Management area must be assigned the User Management permission.

When a company initially sets up ahead, the intranet owner is automatically granted access to this area. If additional users require access, intranet owners can assign the necessary permissions.

Step 2: Accessing the User Management area

Once the feature is enabled, here’s how you can access it:

1. • You’ll now see a new option called User Management appear in the main menu (top-right).

2.  
   • Click on User Management to open the area.

   💡 Note: The User Management area is only available on larger screens. If you try to open it on a mobile device, you won't be able to access it. 

The new User Management area gives admins a dedicated space to handle user-related tasks more efficiently. Once enabled, it becomes part of your admin toolkit and can’t be disabled. For more information on User Management area follow this link.
