# User Story

As an administrator, I want to manage a user's identity and Minecraft accounts, so that support issues can be resolved without direct database access.

# Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Administrators can search by preferred name, Discord username or ID, Minecraft username, or UUID.
- [x] Search results show onboarding state, primary username, and active account count.
- [x] A user detail view shows Discord identity, active accounts, recent events, and recent IP observations.
- [x] Administrators can update the preferred name and synchronize Discord.
- [x] Administrators can add Mojang-verified accounts or explicitly override an unverified username.
- [x] Administrators can remove an account only after a visible confirmation step.
- [x] Removing a primary account selects a replacement or falls back to the preferred-name nickname.
- [x] Administrators can set a new primary account and automatically update Discord.
- [x] Every action rechecks role and account ownership and records the acting administrator.
- [x] Discord failures do not falsely persist the requested name, primary, or removal change.

# Implementation

- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/users/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/users/page.tsx)
- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/users/[userId]/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/users/%5BuserId%5D/page.tsx)
- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/users/actions.ts`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/users/actions.ts)

# Validation

Nickname fallback behavior is tested in [`packages/minecraft/test/minecraft.test.ts`](../packages/minecraft/test/minecraft.test.ts). Privileged routes pass TypeScript, lint, Semgrep, and production build checks.
