title: Accounts description: Accounts are the foundation of identity in UNA. Every user starts with an Account, which acts as the root container for authentication, access, and ownership across the system. iconUrl: sys_wiki_files/waizpcp2dtccyxz7mntwbj5gyynkhl2z platforms: [android, ios, web] tags: [Core] packageName: ~15.0 sourceCodeUrl: https://github.com/unacms/UNA/tree/master/modules/boonex/accounts

The Accounts app in UNA Studio lets Operators manage individual user accounts. System-wide account rules—such as confirmation, passwords, and automatic cleanup—are configured separately under Studio > Settings > Global > Account.

[!NOTE] Accounts are different from Profiles. An Account is the core user record used for authentication and unique system identification, while a Profile represents the user's persona in the frontend community.

Open Accounts

  • Sign in to UNA Studio.
  • Select Accounts from the Studio Launcher.

Manage Accounts

accounts

The Manage tab lists all registered accounts. Use the controls above the list to:

  • filter by status, including Active, Pending, Suspended, Unconfirmed, or Locked;
  • filter by account type, such as all accounts or Operators only;
  • search by account name, email address, or linked profile;
  • view the number of matching accounts.

Each row includes:

  • Active — Shows the current status and lets an authorized Operator activate or suspend the account. Suspended-account permissions are configured under Studio > Permissions.
  • Name and Email — The account identifier and primary login address.
  • Confirmed — How or whether the account was confirmed.
  • Profiles — Profiles linked to the account. One UNA account can own or manage multiple profiles.
  • Last Logged, Last Active, and Created — Key account timestamps.
  • Actions — Opens account-specific management options.

Adding and Exporting Accounts

  • Add New creates an account manually. Enter the account name, email address, and password. Prefer email confirmation unless immediate manual confirmation is required.
  • Export All exports account data using the format and fields selected in the Settings tab.

Account Actions

Open the Actions menu beside an account to:

  • Edit Email — Change the primary email address. The new address may require confirmation.
  • Resend Confirmation — Send a new account-confirmation email.
  • Reset Password — Set a new password directly.
  • Resend Reset Password — Send the standard password-reset link.
  • Set Operator Role — Grant Studio access, optionally through a limited role configured under Studio > Roles.

Deleting Accounts

[!IMPORTANT] Deletion options have materially different consequences. Verify the request and understand its retention or privacy requirements before using either option.

  • Delete removes the account and usually its personal profiles. Organization profiles are removed only when the account is their sole owner. Existing posts, comments, and other content are retained and may be attributed to an unknown user.
  • Delete With Content removes the account, solely owned profiles, and their associated content. This action is irreversible and may take time for large accounts.

Accounts Settings

The Settings tab controls list and export behavior.

accounts-settings

  • Enable sorting by Last Active — Allows sorting by recent activity; this may affect performance on large sites.
  • Export to — Selects CSV or XML.
  • Export fields — Selects the account fields included in exports.

Select only the data required, especially when exporting personal information such as email addresses, timestamps, or IP addresses. Click Save after making changes.

Operator checklist

  • Verify identity before changing an email address or password.
  • Confirm whether account content must be retained before deletion.
  • Treat exports as sensitive data and store or share them securely.
  • Keep /accounts-administration restricted to approved roles.
  • Grant Operator access sparingly and use limited Operator Roles where possible.
