# Viewing Users

To view users in VAST Web UI, choose User Management -> Users.

By default, the Users page lists all user entries defined on the local authorization provider.

To display user details from a different provider, or to query from all providers, run a [user query](/docs-5-3/docs/en/querying-users-tg). In the query results, the context indicator (at the top right of the page) will change to indicate the context of the query.

If you navigate away from the Users page and then go back to it, the default (local) context appears again with a full listing of any and all local users.

The following information can be displayed per user:
