# Get started with Users

Each user account represents a member of your loyalty program. A user account consists of several key components:

* [**Profile**](/product/loyalty-engine/users/user-data-attributes-and-flags.md)**:** Contains the user’s profile information, attributes, and flags, providing key details about the individual.
* [**Wallet**](/product/loyalty-engine/users/user-wallet.md)**:** Holds the user’s points balance, current tier, and any vouchers they have earned or been given.
* [**Consents**](/product/modules/marketing/consents.md)**:** Stores information about the consents the user has given, if you are using the Consents module.
* [**Badges**](/product/modules/badges.md)**:** Displays the badges the user has earned as part of gamification efforts in your program.

Additionally, every user:

* has an **event stream**—a log of all events associated with that user.
* can belong to **audiences**, which are segments of users created from custom criteria such as profile data or activity history.
* can be **given or purchase rewards**. These rewards come with associated benefits, which represent the tangible value of the reward. Once a reward is given or purchased, its benefit is linked to the user and available for redemption.

## Creating users in the Loyalty Engine

User accounts are created in the Loyalty Engine using the [Register a New User](https://docs.whitelabel-loyalty.com/rewards.html#users-users-collection-post) API endpoint. 

The timing and method for calling this endpoint vary depending on your implementation, and whether you loyalty program is an **embedded** or **standalone** program.

See [Creating users](/product/loyalty-engine/users/creating-users.md) for more information.

## Viewing & managing users in the Loyalty Console

Users are managed in the Loyalty Console in the the **Members** screen.

The **Members** screen allows you to:

1. see a list of all users which exist in your loyalty tenant
2. filter the list of users by a user's name, email address or other user profile information (this is useful for finding a specific user's profile)
3. [export the user list to CSV](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
4. view, edit & delete a specific user

***

## Viewing a user's activity

To see a specific user's activity, navigate to their profile in the Loyalty Console.

From there, you can see a user's:

* Event stream in the **Events** tab
* Purchased but not yet unredeemed benefits in the **Wallet** tab
* Expired benefits in the **Expired Benefits** tab
  * This only applies to Voucher-type rewards which you have set an expiry period on as explained in [Reward availability](/product/loyalty-engine/rewards-and-points/rewards/reward-availability.md)
* Redeemed benefits in the **Redeemed Benefits** tab

[^1]: The export button will export the list of users, up to the most recent 1000, with any filters applied.
