You can change the order of the columns by selecting and dragging the column to the desired location.
All result lists will include First Name, Last Name, Username, and Organization.

To temporarily display the password, select the eyeball.
To export the results to Excel, select the Export icon in the top right of the grid. You can export all data in the grid or just selected rows.
The gear in the Row Action column opens a list of possible actions. The available actions depend on the user’s role and permissions.

Known Issues
Issue: Enrollment pool administrators (e.g. District CTE Administrators) are unable to access classes in the organization dropdown in User Administration 2.0.
Impact: They are unable to take action on learners in CTE classes, such as edit, or reset password. They are able to view classes in Class Management.
Workaround: Enrollment pool facilitators (e.g. CTE facilitator/teachers) are able to access and take action on classes via User Administration 2.0 so they could assist with actions needed. In addition, WIN Support can help.
Resolution: This issue will be addressed in a future release so that enrollment pool administrators can access classes in User Administration 2.0.
