Introduction to users

A user is an individual's account within a Zulip organization. Administrators can configure how accounts are created in their organization, and how users will log in.

Zulip lets users and organization administrators configure the following details. This information is summarized in a user's card, and presented in detail in their profile.

• Profile picture
• Name
• Role in the organization
• Status and availability, and whether the account has been deactivated
• Current local time
• Email address, with configurable permissions to view it
• Custom profile fields

Users can also be members of groups, and subscribe to channels.
