User management configuration settings

Manage your Mattermost users including their access permissions, groups, teams, channels, as well as their access to the System Console. Configure this feature by going to System Console > User Management.

Tip

Each configuration value below includes a JSON path to access the value programmatically in the config.json file using a JSON-aware tool. For example, the SiteURL value is under ServiceSettings.

• If using a tool such as jq, you’d enter: cat config/config.json | jq '.ServiceSettings.SiteURL'

• When working with the config.json file manually, look for the key ServiceSettings, then within that object, find the key SiteURL.
