To remove a user, go to a user's details page (1) from the Users tab:

Add a profile picture
To add a profile picture next to your name at the top-right of your interface, you need to create a Gravatar account.
Create an account and refresh your Forest Admin interface. Your picture should appear.

For now, it's the only way to add a profile picture.
Add user tags
User tags are useful for the scopes feature: they allow you to organize your users into groups and control the data they are able to see.

On the each user's details page, you can add a tag (1), edit an existing tag (2) or remove a tag (3).
A tag is composed of a key
and a value
. For a given user, the key
must be unique.
