# User

The `User` family — 7 operations.

A user is a person on your team — their sign-in identity plus the roles they hold at each organization. Deactivate a person who leaves; their history stays.

## Operations

| Operation | Kind | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [createUser](/reference/user/createUser/) | mutation | Create a new staff user at your organization. |
| [deactivateUser](/reference/user/deactivateUser/) | mutation | Deactivate a staff user — it stops being usable but keeps its history and can be reactivated. |
| [doomUser](/reference/user/doomUser/) | mutation | Permanently retire a staff user. |
| [reactivateUser](/reference/user/reactivateUser/) | mutation | Reactivate a staff user — bring a deactivated record back into use. |
| [updateUser](/reference/user/updateUser/) | mutation | Edit a staff user — change its details. |
| [user](/reference/user/user/) | query | Look up one record — a staff user. |
| [users](/reference/user/users/) | query | The user list — each entry is a staff user. |
