Ability to Filter Users by Role in Access Control

Currently, the Users page under Account Settings → Access Control lists all users and their assigned roles. However, there is no way to filter users by role type (e.g., Account Admin, Viewer, Developer).
This limitation makes it difficult to quickly identify which users hold specific roles, particularly high-privilege ones like Account Admin.
Problem / Impact:
From a compliance and security perspective, organizations are required to regularly review and audit users with elevated privileges (e.g., Account Admins).
Without role-based filtering, admins must manually scroll through the entire user list or click into each individual profile to review role bindings.
This increases the risk of missing privileged users and makes compliance audits more time-consuming and error-prone.
Proposed Solution:
Add filtering (and ideally sorting) functionality on the Users page to allow admins to quickly:
- Filter users by role type (e.g., "Account Admin")
- Optionally, export a filtered list of users with their role assignments for audit purposes
Business Value:
- Simplifies compliance and audit workflows by making it easy to identify and review privileged users
- Improves security visibility by reducing the risk of overlooked high-privilege accounts
- Saves administrative time by eliminating manual checks across multiple users

Hi @Jade Orca, Thank you for submitting the request and providing the details about its importance. It is straightforward to check the Principals (Users, User Groups, or Service Accounts) assigned to a specific role. To do this, please navigate to the role you are interested in, such as Account Admin.
- Go to Account settings -> Access Control -> Roles
- Click on the Account Admin role
- Switch to the "Assigned to" tab
- By default, the list of users who have been assigned the above role is listed. You can switch to the "User Groups" or "Service Accounts" tab to view the other principals that have been assigned this role.
I have attached a screenshot as well. Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek Thamman,
