description: >-
  Fordefi is an institutional MPC (multi-party computation) wallet and digital-asset
  security platform for DeFi, trading, and on-chain payments. Its developer API lets
  teams programmatically create vaults across 10+ blockchain families (EVM, Bitcoin,
  Solana, Cosmos and more), manage addresses and assets, and build, approve, sign,
  and broadcast transactions under a policy engine with built-in AML screening and
  audit logging. Authentication combines a Bearer JWT access token with ECDSA
  (NIST P-256) request signing by a registered API Signer; state-changing calls
  support idempotency and a signed webhook event surface for real-time monitoring.
  Fordefi is SOC 2 Type II certified. This profile was enriched by the API
  Evangelist pipeline from Fordefi's public OpenAPI and developer documentation.

            Fordefi supports native assets and fungible tokens on each of the supported blockchains,

            Batch transactions are currently supported only on Solana, for the purpose
            of supporting the `signAllTransactions` flow used by certain Solana DApps.
            Batch transactions undergo policy evaluation as a whole:  the policy is
            applied to a “virtual transaction” whose list of instructions is the union
            of the instructions of the individual transactions in the batch, and whose balance
            changes are the aggregation of balance changes of the individual transactions.

    These endpoints allow you to get information about users in your Fordefi organization.


    There are several types of users in the Fordefi platform:
     - **Person**: A human user of the platform.
     - **API User**, also commonly known as a service account.
       See [Create an API user](https://docs.fordefi.com/developers/getting-started/create-an-api-user).
     - **API Signer**: Used to auto-sign transactions.
       See [Automate Signing with API Signer](https://docs.fordefi.com/developers/getting-started/set-up-an-api-signer).

    Users can have one of three possible roles, which define the permissions that the user is given:
     - **Admin**: A user with high privileges in the organization.
       Only admins have permission to manage the policy, set up the backup, manage the address book,
       and add or remove users in the organization.
       Only a person can have an admin role.
     - **Trader**: A user who can create vaults and transactions.
     - **Viewer**: A user who has full view of the organization's users, addresses, and policies,
       as well as of the vaults and transactions, but does not have permissions to create or modify them.

    The Users API is currently read-only. To add/remove users, visit the Fordefi web console.

            Each vault supports a single "chain family", such as EVM, Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, etc.,
            determined by the vault's type. A vault supports all the chains within the chain family
            (e.g., an EVM vault supports all EVM chains).
