Admin User List with Filters
Overview
A comprehensive admin interface for managing users with search, filtering, sorting, and bulk actions. Admins can quickly find specific users, view account details, and perform administrative actions like suspending accounts or resetting passwords.
User Stories
- As an admin, I want to see a list of all users, so that I can manage the user base
- As an admin, I want to search for users by name or email, so that I can quickly find specific accounts
- As an admin, I want to filter users by status (active, suspended, deleted), so that I can focus on relevant accounts
- As an admin, I want to sort users by signup date or last login, so that I can identify patterns
- As an admin, I want to suspend or delete user accounts, so that I can enforce policies
Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] User list displays in paginated table (50 users per page)
- [ ] Table shows: name, email, signup date, last login, status, actions
- [ ] Search bar filters users by name or email in real-time
- [ ] Filter dropdowns for: status (all, active, suspended), role (all, user, admin)
- [ ] Sort by: signup date, last login, email (ascending/descending)
- [ ] Click user row to view detailed profile
- [ ] Action menu for each user: view, edit, suspend, delete
- [ ] Bulk actions: select multiple users, suspend/delete in batch
- [ ] Confirmation modal before destructive actions
Technical Requirements
- Implement server-side pagination for performance (query 50 records at a time)
- Use database indexes on email, created_at, last_login columns
- Debounce search input (300ms) to reduce API calls
- Implement role-based access control (only admins can access)
- Log all admin actions (who did what, when)
- Use soft deletes for user deletion (mark as deleted, don't remove)
- Cache user counts for filter badges
Edge Cases
- Admin searches for non-existent email → Show "No users found" message
- Admin tries to delete themselves → Prevent with error "Cannot delete your own account"
- Thousands of users in database → Pagination handles efficiently, lazy load data
- User deleted while admin viewing their profile → Show "User no longer exists" error
- Multiple admins editing same user → Last write wins, show warning about concurrent edits
Out of Scope
- User activity timeline
- Export users to CSV
- Import users from file
- Advanced analytics (signup trends, retention metrics)
- Email users directly from admin panel
