# Set up users, roles, and teams

Once your Bridges are set up, add users, assign their roles, create teams, and subscribe them to the right Bridges.

## Configure a user's feed

View and adjust any user's Bridge subscriptions and email digest settings.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Users settings">
    Go to **Settings → Organization Settings → Users**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open feed configuration">
    Click the **⋯** menu next to a user → **Configure feed and digest**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust feed and digest settings">
    Toggle Bridges on or off and set the user's email digest cadence (daily or weekly).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Log in as a user

Log in as any Builder or Consumer in your organization to see Starbridge exactly as they do. Use it to **validate a user's setup** — confirm they're subscribed to the right Bridges and getting the right digests after you configure their feed — or to **troubleshoot** an issue a user reports.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Users settings">
    Go to **Settings → Organization Settings → Users**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a session as the user">
    Click the **⋯** menu next to the user → **Log in as user**. You'll be taken into Starbridge acting as that user.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to your own account">
    Click **Exit** in the banner to end the session and return to your settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  While you're in a session, a banner at the top of the screen reads **"You are signed in as \[user's name]"** so it's always clear whose account you're acting in.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Sessions expire automatically after **20 minutes**. A countdown appears in the final few minutes before you're returned to your own settings.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Only Admins can log in as other users in their organization.
</Tip>
