Did some searching and the questions/replies are 2+ years old.

Is it possible to save a view in User Management? Every time I log in I have to change the columns that I need to view. Also to have the Branch option so I don’t have to go to each each user to “edit” to see their Branch.

Hi ​@fperigard - in my experience your views are messed up when you impersonate users and cookies are reset. To deal with this, if I need to impersonate a user I open an incognito window, authenticate and login. I also have our automatic logout set to 3 hours’ish.

I often open an incognito window in the morning when I know I am going to be working with and impersonating users. Then I periodically go in and refresh it before it times out. Then shut it down at the end of the day.

Doing this my columns stay setup like I want for long periods of time.

This has always been this way in most of the management screens.  I think in the course management this may have been updated, but not users.  You should be able to filter by branches, but again.  We added a custom location field that is identical to branch to solve for this.

there is no way to save your searches but it does sometimes save things (while in the same session) like columns placement.

This is one of the main reasons why I use a second browser anytime I need to login as a different user or impersonate a user.  I use Firefox primarily, so I open up Chrome whenever I’m logging in with a different account.  As long as I don’t clear my cookies in Firefox, most of my settings (like column selections) hold steady.
