User Management

Forest Stack provides platform administrators with two key areas to monitor user activity and oversee user participation:

  1. User Activities – Track how users interact with datasets, models, and use cases.
  2. Manage Platform → Users and Contributions → Users – View and manage user accounts and their access status.

Together, these tools give administrators full visibility into user actions and allow them to maintain secure, well-governed user access.

User Activities

The User Activities tab offers a detailed log of all user interactions with assets across Forest Stack. Administrators can view the following information:

  • Asset Name: The name of the dataset, model, or use case the user interacted with.
  • Asset Type: Indicates the category of the asset (Dataset, Model, or Use Case).
  • Activity: (Viewed, Downloaded) Shows what action the user performed on the asset.
  • Date: The exact date and time the action was recorded.
  • Action → View User: Allows the admin to view details of the user who performed the activity.

  • Account Status: Indicates whether the user’s account is active or deactivated.
  • User Added On: The date the user account was created on the platform.
  • Action: Action tab for admin to view, activate or deactivate a user.

Admin Actions

Administrators can also perform the following account-related actions:

  • View User – Displays detailed information about the selected user.
  • Activate a User – Enables the user’s account, granting access to the platform.
  • Deactivate a User – Disables the user’s account, preventing further access.
