# Contacts

A contact is an individual or group that may interact with the corporate on behalf of your credit union. A contact is unable to login to Beastro to access account information. To have the ability to view specific modules within the Beastro platform, contacts must have portal access enabled through an [Access Request](/v1/docs/access-requests).

The contacts area is visible only with User Administrator permissions. User Administrators may add, maintain, or inactivate both Beastro contacts and Users with portal access.

The **Contacts** card indicates the total number of contacts. It is displayed as a table and features options for filtering and sorting. Click the **arrow** next to the column header to sort the column. The orange arrow indicates which column is currently sorting the information. Search within a column by typing information into the **Search** box located just under the column header, or by utilizing the column dropdown, if available. To clear filters, click the **x** located in the search box, or click the **Clear filters** option at the top right side of the card. Sort the list to show Users by specific privilege by selecting a Role from the **Role** dropdown. Additionally, utilize the **Type** dropdown to sort by Authorized Signer.
