🧭 Introduction
The Users page in the Ontraccr mobile app provides a list of all staff within your company’s workspace — letting mobile users search for team members, view role assignments, and access basic contact info.
This guide outlines how to use the Users tab for quick reference and collaboration support.
📍 Where to Access Users
- Tap “More” from the bottom nav bar

You’ll see a full list of users in the company account, subject to your role’s viewing permissions.
🔍 What You Can Do in the Users Page
