# Viewing Current and Past Administrators

The Settings page in Publisher provides a complete overview of all past and present administrators. This section explains how to monitor administrator status and understand different access levels.

## Accessing Administrator Information

Navigate to the Settings page through the left sidebar menu. The administrators table displays all users who have had administrative access, showing:

* Administrator name and email
* Current access status
* Last active timestamp
* Access history

## Administrator Status Types

[Publisher](https://docs.omics.ai/products/publisher) tracks three distinct administrator states:

### Invited Administrators

These are newly added administrators who haven't yet logged in. They have full administrative permissions but need to complete their first login to activate their account.

### Enabled Administrators

Active administrators who have logged in and can perform all administrative functions. These users have complete access to:

* [Collection](https://docs.omics.ai/products/publisher/collections) management
* [Access policy](https://docs.omics.ai/products/publisher/access-policies) configuration
* User administration
* System settings

### Disabled Administrators

Former administrators whose access has been revoked. These users:

* Cannot log into Publisher
* Have no administrative permissions
* Remain in the list for audit purposes

## Managing the Administrator View

The administrators list is automatically sorted by most recent activity. You can:

* Reorder the list by clicking column headers
* Track administrator engagement through last activity dates
* Monitor pending administrator activations
* Review historical access changes
