Each user needs a profile in the system in order to access the app or dashboard, and these sub-directories are where you can manage profiles for all users, building staff, tenants, and vendors at your building. The Tags sub-page is where you can manage User Tags.\n\nWho Can Manage The directory?\n\nUsers and Staff Table Overview\n\nTenant Table Overview\n\nVendor Table Overview\n\nDeleting and Suspending Users\n\nWho Can Manage The Directory?\nOnly Building Admins and Building Managers can add and manage users in the Directory.\nUsers and Staff Table Overview\nThe Users and Staff sub-directories include a table view where the following actions can be performed:\n\nManage Profiles\n\n+New: Add a User or Staff Member\n\nUpload: Bulk Upload Users or Staff Members\n\nEdit (pencil icon): Edit a profile, change a user role, switch the user's company, add a User Tag, etc.\n\nInvite Users (envelope icon): Once a user's profile is added, you can invite them to download the mobile app via email.\n\nView Pass (badge icon): Click to view the user's pass (not applicable in all buildings)\n\nAdministrative Actions:\n\nEdit Columns: Edit and/or reorder columns\n\nFilter and Search: Filter or search by any field in the profile\n\nDownload: Download a .csv of the table.

From here, you can delete vendors in bulk, if needed.\nDeleting and Suspending Users\n\nBy default, individual users cannot be deleted from the User Directory because permanent deletion is a powerful, irreversible action. For users who are no longer at your building, we recommend suspending their accounts instead. Suspending immediately removes access: the user is logged out and can no longer use the building app or the dashboard, while their account and historical information remain preserved.\nHow to Suspend an Individual User\n\nNavigate to your directory and find the user.\n\nClick on the edit icon next to their profile.\n\nScroll down to Account Status and select Suspended.\n\nHow to Suspend Users in Bulk\n\nNavigate to your directory.\n\nFilter or search for the user(s) you'd like to suspend.\n\nClick Bulk Actions and Set Account Status\n\nSelect Suspend from the dropdown.","capture_id":"f00301c09faffe59ca20b45d96d0cef6d30efc963fc1fa3fbf55dab5b8ba7034","captured_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:01.609Z","published_at":null,"indexed_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:01.651Z","truncated":0,"scope_tier":"primary","monitor_reason":"","last_error":null,"last_attempt_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:01.081Z","enabled":1,"evidence_notes":[],"text_available":true,"media":["https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/45334835676308","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/34868771335060","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/34868776707092","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/45335975966612","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/45335975968916"],"interpretation":"Unreviewed source evidence.
