In the Users section in Settings, you can list, invite new users, and manage all the users associated with your company and third party users who have access to your workspace.

This section enables your organization's administrators to perform the following actions:
- [invite (add) new users](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#inviting-users-to-the-workspace),
- [set roles (permissions) in the workspace](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#setting-user-roles),
- [set access expiration](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#setting-access-expiration),
- [reset a password](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#resetting-a-password)
- [reset two factor authentication configuration](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#resetting-2fa),
- [revoke access to the workspace](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#revoking-access),
- [delete accounts of the managed users](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/users#deleting-accounts),



## Managed and third party users
---

We distinguish two types of users: managed and third party. A third party user may be any person that has been invited to your workspace, but you have only a little control over guest accounts (the actions allowed towards the third party users are available in the table below). To gain control over user accounts you must convert them to be manageable, which means you have to prove that you have the power to administer them. In order to do so, you must [confirm ownership of the domain](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/managed-domains) after which all added and to-be-added users with accounts under the managed domains will be automatically associated to your workspace.

Such division of user types also brings different options in overall user account management which by default prevents you from deleting third party accounts, resetting third party accounts two factor authentication (2FA), or resetting a password. You are only entitled to adjust the settings related to users that are connected with your workspace, such as a role level, access expiration and revoking access.

## Resetting 2FA

[Two factor authentication (2FA)](/docs/settings/identity-access-management/two-factor-authentication) requires a user to log in to the Synerise application with extra credentials. In addition to a login and password, a user enters a security code generated by an authentication app on their device.


<div class="admonition admonition-important"><div class="admonition-icon"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2.5"><path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M12 8v4m0 4h.01M21 12a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z" /></svg></div><div class="admonition-body"><div class="admonition-content">

<br>This security measure can be enabled for managed and third party users, however, you can force the reset of two factor authentication only for the managed users.
