# Overview of Payroll user management

Manage users is available under **Settings > Manage users** and is an admin-only area. It has two tabs: HR users and Payroll access users.

### HR users

The HR users tab shows all HR users under each **Active** or **Invited**. Select any user in either view to open their details.

**Active**: users who have accepted their invitation and have an active account.

- The list shows each user's ID, name, login email, and assigned payroll(s) - if any.
- A £ icon next to a name indicates the user already has payroll access.

**Invited**: users who have been sent an invitation but have not yet activated their account.

- Each user shows their invitation sent date and status.
  - An *Invited* status means the invitation is still active.
  - An *Expired* status means the invitation link has timed out.

### Payroll access users

The Payroll access users tab lists all users with payroll access, showing their name, login email, and linked HR user account where one exists. Not all payroll access users will have a linked HR account.
