User Signals allow Process designers to react to changes to user accounts. When a change occurs to a user account, a [BPMN 2.0](https://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0/About-BPMN/) Signal event triggers; any Process that subscribes to that Signal can react. The Signal includes a payload containing that user’s data as a data array. Below is a description of each user-type event and the Signal ID value to use for its corresponding Signal. | User-Type Event | Description of Event | Signal ID | | --- | --- | --- | | Create | [A new user account is created](/v1/docs/create-a-new-user-account). | `user_create` | | Delete | [A user account is deleted](/v1/docs/deleted-user-accounts). | `user_update` | | Read | A user account is accessed in either of the following ways: - [A user account is viewed](/v1/docs/user-accounts#view-all-scripts). - [A user profile is viewed](/v1/docs/profile-settings#view-another-users-profile-information). | `user_read` | | Update | [A user account is edited](/v1/docs/edit-a-user-account). | `user_delete` | When a User Signal event triggers, the following occurs: - That User Signal broadcasts the `_user` [Magic Variable](/v1/docs/magic-variables) containing the user account affected by that User Signal event. For example, the full name set in the affected user account is accessible with JSON dot notation as `_user.fullname`. See the `_user` Magic Variable to reference any JSON object within this Magic Variable. - The User Signal event broadcasts any [User Enhanced Properties](/v1/docs/user-property-settings) and the affected user account's corresponding values. > Learn about [Collection Signals](/v1/docs/signals#collection-signals). ## View User Signal Settings **Permissions** Your user account or group membership must have the "Settings: View Settings" permission to view User Signals unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected.
