# User List

> Directory of all known users and their information.

The User List displays all known users and their information. More specifically, it shows the users' first and last name, if a KYC has been performed, contacts and [DIDs](/essentials/introduction#via-protocol).

There are two kinds of information associated with a user:

**Humanos** covers verified information collected and managed by Humanos:

* **Contacts**: verified by Humanos and assigned a [DID](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-1.1/), making them compatible with [W3C Verifiable Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/). Requests can only be sent to Humanos contacts.
* **Identities**: collected during KYC, triggered by the security level of a request. Information gathered this way only becomes visible to your organization once the user has accepted the terms and conditions and signed their first credential within your organization.

**Your organization** covers information provided via the API, used to unify user tracking and populate certain credentials such as document placements:

* **Contacts**: cannot receive requests, but allow your organization to associate known identifiers with a user
* **Identities**: can hold any type of information your organization holds about a user's identity

## Glossary

**Status**

* *NONE*: No information on the user beyond the contact identifier
* *KYC*: Identity information provided by your organization. Check [Create User](/api-reference/latest/user/create-user) for more information.
* *HUMANOS*: A Humanos verified identity is available and accessible to your organization

## API access

Users are created and looked up programmatically with [`POST /user`](/api-reference/latest/user/create-user) and `GET /user`.
