Users
The Users page breaks trace activity down by end user, so you can see who uses your AI application, how much, and at what cost.
Open it from Gauge AI > Users in the sidebar. A user appears when traces are sent with a user ID. Set it when you instrument your application (see Tracing Fundamentals).
The Users item under Discover AI is a different page. It lists employees seen by Discover AI on enrolled devices. See Shadow AI Dashboard.
What it shows
For each user ID:
- Environment
- First Event and Last Event
- Total Events: traces and observations attributed to the user
- Total Tokens and Total Cost
Search by user ID, and narrow the list with the date range, Env selector and filters.
User detail
Open a user to see badges for their observation count, trace count, total tokens, total cost and active period, followed by three tabs:
- Traces: the user's traces.
- Sessions: the user's sessions.
- Scores: scores on the user's traces.
Common uses
- Spot heavy users: find who drives the most cost or volume.
- Support and debugging: jump to a specific user's traces when you investigate a report.
- Per-user cost: understand consumption per customer or per seat. The Cost Dashboard also has a top-20 users by cost chart.
Access
Viewing this page needs the Users permission in the Gauge AI module. Among built-in roles, Owner, Department Admin, Security & Compliance and Cost Analyst have it. Opening a user's traces also needs trace access. See Who can see traces.
The user ID is whatever identifier you send. Use a stable, non-sensitive ID where possible. Coding agents usually send the developer's email address.
