# Users

The term user refers to a user of application and to the record of that user that exists in Administration. Users can be employees, consultants, or other parties that require access to your OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights environment. Users can be manually created in Administration, or can be brought into the application through a federated source.

Based on the roles you assign them, users can access Administration and integrated component UIs. Users can belong to multiple groups.

From the Users page, you can view user details.

- Filter the list of users by assigned group.

- Search for a user by user name, last name, or first name.
