The **"Excluded users"** dropdown lets you control which specific users are blocked from accessing a contract. You can find this dropdown in step 2 ("Access") of the contract creation flow. Use this feature to:
- Prevents specified users from accessing contracts, even if they belong to a business area with access
- Overrides the "Contract is visible to all users" setting for excluded individuals
- Provides granular control over access exceptions
You can also exclude users directly from the **"Access"** tab on the contract. This tab gives you complete visibility into who has — and does not have — access to each contract and why, making it easy to manage and audit user permissions.
To exclude a user from the Access tab: 1. Locate the user in the list. 2. Open the overflow menu (⋯) next to their name. 3. Select **"Exclude"**. Excluded users remain visible in the list but appear with a grey background. Hovering over an excluded user displays the message: "The user is excluded from the contract." Use the **"Contract access"** filter to view users who have been granted access or excluded.
The Access tab header shows the total number of users with access to the contract in parentheses.
To make broader access changes, click **"Manage user access"** at the bottom of the list. This takes you directly to step 2 ("Access") in the contract creation flow, where you can update business area permissions and excluded user settings.
