Answer
Use the Users tab in ANVL Insights for routine, site-level user management. Use the Admin Portal for organization-wide user administration, advanced permissions, and bulk actions.
A simple way to think about it:
Users tab = day-to-day user updates within your scope
Admin Portal = full user record control across the organization
This matters because the two areas do not provide the same level of visibility or control. Choosing the wrong one can lead to incomplete updates, missed permissions, or unnecessary risk.
Steps
Use the Users tab in ANVL Insights when you need to:
add or modify users for a site you manage
activate or inactivate users
make routine updates such as name, email, phone, supervisor, or Group access within your scope
manage users only in the Groups you already have access to
Open the Users tab by:
opening ANVL Insights
selecting Users
searching for the user
opening the user profile to make the update
Use the Admin Portal when you need to:
assign Special Rights
review or update the full user record
perform bulk user actions
manage users across any Group in the organization
update fields that are not available in the Users tab
manage hierarchy or supervisor relationships at scale
Open the Admin Portal by:
opening ANVL Insights
selecting Welcome, [Your Name]
selecting Admin Portal
opening User Management
Choose the right tool based on the type of change:
for one-off, operational changes at the site level, use the Users tab
for organization-level administration or advanced access changes, use the Admin Portal
When in doubt, ask yourself:
Is this a routine site-level user update?
Or does this require full user record control, Special Rights, or bulk action?
