# Managing a user's settings

> Learn how to access the settings for individual users and test data access through impersonation.

<Note>
  Looking to change settings for your *own* account? See [Your account](/administration/users/your-account) for the self-service settings available from the profile menu.
</Note>

## Accessing user settings

To access the settings for an individual user:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Users**.
2. In the user list, hover over the user you want to modify.
3. Click the **Manage** button that appears.

On the user's profile page, you'll be able to assign permissions to the user, set the user's locale and query timezone, and set user attribute values.

### Organization role

<Note>
  **Organization Admin** permissions are required to modify a user's organization role.
</Note>

The **Organization role** setting controls the user's permissions to manage the organization. This includes the ability to invite and manage other users, manage database connections, and modify [organization settings](/administration/settings).

**Not sure what permissions to set?** Check out the [Common permissions scenarios guide](/administration/users/permissions-scenarios) to learn what permissions to set in specific scenarios, such as restricting access to datasets based on team.

### Locale

The **Locale** setting defines the language of the Omni app interface for this user.

* If a user-level locale is set, it controls the language this user sees in the app.
* If no user-level locale is set, the user inherits the organization's default locale.

For more information about organization and user-level localization, see [Localization settings](/administration/localization).

### Query timezone

The **Query timezone** setting defines the timezone used for query conversion, if user-specific timezones are enabled for a connection. Refer to the [Timezone settings guide](/connect-data/timezones) for more information.

### User attributes

User attributes, managed in the user's **Attributes** tab, allow you to map user-specific variables to operations in Omni, such as querying, dashboards, and controlling data access. Refer to the [User attributes guide](/administration/users/attributes) for more information and examples.

### Groups

The **Groups** tab lists the [user groups](/administration/users/groups) that the user is a member of. To modify a user's group membership, navigate to **Settings > Groups**.

### Model Access

[Model permissions](/administration/users/permissions) determine the level of access the user has to individual models. Click on a model in the list to view more information about the user's role and abilities:

</Frame>

Use the **User role** dropdown to change the user's model role. If [custom roles](/administration/users/custom-roles) are defined, they will also appear in the dropdown list. The **Resolved Role** and **User Abilities** sections will automatically update based on your selection.

## Impersonating a user

<Note>
  **Organization Admin** permissions are required to impersonate other users. Additionally, admins can't impersonate other admins.
</Note>

The **Impersonate user** feature is useful for testing that access grants work as expected:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Users** and click on a user. **Note**: If testing an [access grant](/modeling/models/access-grants), the user must have a [user attribute value](/administration/users/attributes) that excludes them from the grant.
2. At the bottom of the user's details page, click **Impersonate user**.
3. Create a new workbook based on the connection you want to test. In this environment, you can verify what the user would and wouldn't have access to and adjust their permissions accordingly.

## Resetting introductions

If a user needs a refresher on Omni's latest features, you can use the **Reset introductions** button at the bottom of their settings page.

This will reactivate any previously dismissed feature introductions - specifically, the tooltips that highlight updates - that display in the app:
