Administration
Forte provides tools for managing your project's users, tracking activity, and maintaining security.
User States
Every user in your project has one of three states:
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | The user can authenticate and interact with your services normally |
| Suspended | The user is temporarily blocked from authenticating. Existing sessions are invalidated |
| Deleted | The user is permanently removed. All sessions and data are cleaned up |
You can suspend or delete a user from the Users dashboard or API.
User Management Dashboard
The Forte Console provides a user management dashboard where you can:
- View all users in a project with their contact methods and state
- Search and filter users by email, phone number, or state
- Suspend or reactivate users
- View a user's session history and active sessions
- Inspect contact methods and their verification status
