# Viewing user accounts

To retrieve and view the user accounts existing in your SonarQube Server:

1. In the top navigation bar, go to **Administration > Security > Users**. The **Users** page opens.
2. Use the filter bar to filter the list of users.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the automatic provisioning mode is used in your system, the users are organized in two different tabs on the **Users** page:

* The **From \<identityProvider>** tab (where \<identityProvider> is the provider with which auto-provisioning is configured in SonarQube Server, e.g., GitHub or GitLab) contains the auto-provisioned user accounts.
* The **Local** tab contains all other users (called local users in SonarQube Server). For more information, see **Local user concept** in [overview](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.1/instance-administration/authentication/overview "mention").
