Manage Associated Users

Prerequisites
You’re familiar with the process of generating a key pair for the user.
You’re familiar with the functionality of the Key Pair Details page.
You’re familiar with managing user IDs.

When users sign in to their FlowCrypt account, their private keys are fetched from the Email Key Manager by the client they use (browser or mobile application). For this purpose, you need to define the list of users who can fetch the key from the Key Pair Details page.
