This is an Admin Only capability.
What can you do in the People tab?
- Bulk actions — add to groups, assign attributes, and invite thousands of users in one operation.
- Role-based filters & saved views — carve a large directory into the audiences you use often, and save them to reuse at deployment time.
- A vertical filter panel — narrow a big directory to exactly the audience you need, without exporting to a spreadsheet.
- Custom attribute support — including Microsoft Entra-synced fields, so targeting matches how your organisation already describes itself.
What is in the People Library?
- People — everyone in your directory, with their roles, teams, and attributes.
- Teams & groups — the structures you target and report on.
- Attributes — role, department, location, and custom fields (kept current via Entra where connected).
Keep your directory current via Microsoft Entra & Directory Sync so attributes are accurate to filter and target on.
How do I access the People tab?
- In the left navigation, click People Library.
- Select the People tab at the top of the page.
What can I see in the People tab?
Each row in the People tab shows:
- Name
- Email address
- Type (User or Contact)
- Status (active or inactive)
Use the search bar at the top to filter by name or email.
People tab search bar with a name entered, showing filtered results.
How do I open a person's record?
Click any row to open the person's detail panel on the right. From here you can view and edit their contact details.
How do I delete a user or contact?
- Click the row to open their detail panel.
- Click Delete at the bottom of the panel.
- Confirm the deletion in the pop-up.
Deleting a contact removes them from iluminr permanently. If your account uses Entra Directory Sync, a deleted contact will be re-created on the next sync if they still exist in Entra.
Common tasks
- Build an audience — open the filter panel, narrow by role / department / team / attribute, and save it as a view.
- Invite a wave of people — select the audience (or a saved view) and use bulk actions to invite them at once.
- Bulk-assign attributes or groups — select people and apply in one operation.
- Build the audiences you run often as saved views — reuse them at deployment time.
- Use bulk actions for onboarding waves instead of going person by person.
