Users of the portal with department, roles and status, from the Users report.

Absorb LMS MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/absorb-lms.md

MCP tool: `absorb_lms_read → list_users`

Access: read.

Returns users the way the Users report (User Administration) shows them. Only Active users appear unless you pass status inactive, as in Absorb's default view. Search by name, username or email, and narrow by department. user_id goes into list_user_enrollments, enroll_users, message_users and set_user_status. You see only the users your Admin role allows.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | no | Part of a name, username or email. |
| `department` | string | no | Department name as shown in the profile. |
| `status` | enum | no | active (default) or inactive. |
| `limit` | integer | no | Rows to return. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
