Every client you manage, in one table. Search it, filter it, act on it.
The Clients tab lists every business workspace linked to your reseller ID, with the plan, join date, status and revenue contribution for each one. This page covers how to find a client fast, what the filters actually mean, and the single most common source of confusion: why the action button is sometimes greyed out for a client that looks perfectly active.
“All business workspaces linked to your reseller ID. Click “View as Client” to load any account in the standard Actionist UI, scoped to that workspace.” That is the tab’s own subtitle, and it is a fair summary of everything below.
Six columns. Each renders a specific set of fields, no more.
Column
What it shows
Client
The gradient avatar with initials, the client name, and the primary email underneath when one is on file. The domain is never shown in this cell, even though it is one of the things you can search on.
Plan
The plan name exactly as the backend sends it, or a dash when no plan is set. There is no relabeling or mapping applied here.
Joined
The date the workspace linked to your reseller ID.
Status
A single dot: active or inactive.
Revenue contribution
”Pending”, a formatted amount, or a dash. Covered in full further down this page.
Actions
A View as client button, sometimes disabled. Covered in the signature section below.
The Client cell is the one place people expect to see a domain and don’t. If you’re trying to tell two similarly named clients apart, use the email underneath the name, not a domain that isn’t rendered.
The Plan cell is a raw pass-through of whatever the backend calls that client’s plan. There’s no relabeling applied here, so if a client’s plan was renamed on the backend, this cell reflects that immediately, even if it doesn’t match the plan names you’re used to seeing elsewhere in the product.
This is the full roster, not a preview. The Overview tab’s “Most recent clients” panel shows the same underlying data capped at five rows, with a “View all” link that lands you back here. If you only need a quick pulse check on your newest clients, start there. If you need to search, filter, or page through everyone, this is the page for it. See Dashboard overview for that panel.
The search box sits above the table with the placeholder “Search clients, domains, contacts…”. It matches against more than the name shown in the Client cell.
clients / search
Search
halo
⌘K
Type at least 3 characters to search
Three things matter here:
Minimum three characters. Below that, the box shows the hint “Type at least 3 characters to search” instead of querying anything.
300 ms debounce. Once you’re past three characters, the table waits a beat after you stop typing before it fetches, so a fast typer doesn’t fire a request per keystroke.
The match happens on the server, across name, domain and contact fields, not just the name string rendered in the Client cell. That’s why the placeholder says “clients, domains, contacts” even though no domain column exists in the table.
If you can’t find a client by name, try the domain or the contact email instead. The Client cell won’t show you the domain, but the search index does look at it.
In practice this matters most when a client’s company name in Actionist doesn’t match the name you know them by internally. If “halo” doesn’t turn up a match on the name you expected, try their domain (halo.studio) or the contact email you have on file for them instead of assuming the client isn’t linked at all.
The keyboard chip next to the search box, showing ⌘K or Ctrl+K, is decorative. There is no keyboard handler behind it anywhere in the reseller interface. Pressing it does nothing, and that’s expected, not a bug. Worth knowing before it turns into a support ticket.
Four chips sit next to the search box, each showing a live count. Search and filters combine, so typing a query while a chip is selected narrows both at once.
Chip
Filters on
All
No filter applied. Every linked workspace, in any relationship state.
Active
The operational status shown as the green dot in the Status column.
Inactive
The operational status shown as the grey dot in the Status column.
Historical
The underlying relationship status being canceled or force_disconnected, not the Active/Inactive dot at all.
Active and Inactive read the same two-state status the table already shows you. Historical reads something the table never shows directly: the four-value relationship status underneath (pending_metadata_sync, active, canceled, force_disconnected). A Historical client isn’t just “not active” today, it’s a relationship that has actually ended. The chip carries the tooltip “Canceled or disconnected clients, kept here for reference.” to make that plain.Two things worth understanding about that ended state:
A canceled relationship means the client’s own subscription lapsed or they chose to disconnect.
A force-disconnected relationship is an administrative action, not something either you or the client triggers from a button in the product. If a client shows up as Historical and you weren’t expecting it, that’s the reason to ask support rather than to look for a setting you missed.
The Historical chip only appears once the backend actually returns that breakdown. If you don’t see a fourth chip, it isn’t hidden, it simply hasn’t been computed for your account yet.
Search and filters combine rather than compete. Selecting Active and then searching “acme” doesn’t show you every client matching “acme”, it shows you only the ones that are both active and match that search. Switch the chip back to All if a search comes back emptier than you expected, since a filter left over from an earlier look at the table is a common reason for a client to seem to have vanished.Sort is fixed to most recently linked first, and it isn’t something you can change from this screen. Pagination runs 20 clients per page with Previous, the current page number, and Next, and the footer under the table reads “Showing shown of total clients” so you always know how much of the roster you’re looking at.
The Actions column always shows a View as client button, in lowercase c. Most of the time it’s clickable. Sometimes it isn’t, and the reason is rarely what people first assume.
What makes a client manageable
The backend reports that a delegated session can actually be created for this relationship.
The workspace has finished its initial setup and metadata sync, not just been linked.
The relationship is in a state where scopes can be resolved at the moment you click the button.
Nothing about that specific row’s session is currently in progress or previously failed and needs a retry.
What disables the button
The backend says management isn’t possible for this client right now, and gives you its own reason for it.
No reason is given, in which case the button falls back to “Managing this client isn’t available right now”.
A session is actively being created for that row. The button shows a spinner and stays disabled until it resolves.
The relationship has ended (canceled or force-disconnected), which is exactly what the Historical filter surfaces.
A client can show the green Active dot and still have a greyed-out View as client button. Status and manageability are two different fields under the hood: a workspace that is still syncing reports as active in the Status column, but isn’t manageable yet. Don’t read Active as a promise that the button will work. If it’s disabled on an active client, the workspace is almost always still finishing setup, not broken.
There is no separate column that spells this out for you, so the button’s own state, and whatever tooltip it carries, is the only signal you get. If the tooltip gives a specific reason, trust that reason over any guess. If it’s the generic fallback line, treat it as “not yet”, check back later, or ask the client whether their setup finished on their end.One more thing worth knowing before you click: the permissions you get inside the session aren’t cached from whenever the client last saved their settings. They’re resolved from the client’s live grants at the moment you click View as client. If a client flips a toggle off five minutes before you start a session, you’ll see the narrower set, not whatever was true earlier in the day.
The button was clickable a minute ago, now it isn't
Manageability can change between page loads. A client’s workspace finishing its sync, or a relationship changing state, can flip the button from disabled to enabled or back without any action on your part. Refresh the table rather than trusting a state you saw a few minutes ago.
A client shows Inactive but I can still click the button
Status and manageability are independent fields. An Inactive client can still be manageable if the backend allows a session to be created for that relationship. Don’t infer manageability from the dot in either direction, check the button itself.
I want to know why, not just that it's disabled
Hover the button. The tooltip carries the backend’s own reason when one is available, and only falls back to the generic “Managing this client isn’t available right now” when it isn’t. Read the tooltip before assuming the generic case applies.
This column has exactly three possible states. It never shows anything else.

This “Pending” is not the same thing as the Pending commission status you’ll see later in the Revenue ledger. In the Clients table, Pending means the backend hasn’t finished computing that client’s revenue contribution figure yet, a data-availability state. In the Revenue ledger, Pending describes a specific commission line item that has accrued but not yet been paid out, a payout-lifecycle state. Same word, two unrelated concepts, in two different views of the same programme. If a client shows Pending here, it says nothing about whether any commission tied to them has been paid.
If you need to know whether commission from a specific client has actually paid out, that’s a question for the Revenue ledger, not this column. See Revenue and payouts for the ledger’s own Pending and Paid states.
What each visible state means, and what’s worth doing about it before you escalate.
What you see
Why
What to do next
The table shows only “No clients yet.”
Either you genuinely have no linked clients, or the fetch behind the table failed. There is no separate error state, a failed request renders the same empty text as a real empty roster.
If you expect clients to be there, refresh the page before assuming your roster is actually empty. If it happens repeatedly, that’s worth a support ticket, since the UI can’t tell you which case you’re in.
The View as client button is greyed out
The backend has marked this client as not manageable right now, most often because the workspace is still syncing.
Read the tooltip for the reason. If it’s the generic fallback, check back shortly. See the section above for the full breakdown.
Revenue contribution shows “Pending”
The backend hasn’t finished computing that client’s figure.
Nothing to fix on your end. Recheck later. Don’t confuse it with the ledger’s own Pending status.
A spinner on the Actions button never resolves
Session creation for that row is taking longer than expected, or has silently stalled.
Give it a moment, then refresh the page. If it consistently never resolves for the same client, treat it the same as a disabled button and check the tooltip once it settles.
A toast reads “Client manager is currently unavailable. Please try again.”
Session creation for that client failed outright.
Try again. If it keeps failing for one specific client while others work fine, that points at something client-side (their workspace) rather than your account.
Notice the pattern: several of these states look identical to each other on the surface, “No clients yet.” covering both empty and broken, a syncing client looking the same as any other active one until you try the button. When the table won’t tell you which case you’re in, the fastest signal is usually a refresh, followed by whether the same state persists for one client specifically or for the whole roster.
If you’re not sure whether “No clients yet.” means your roster is genuinely empty or the fetch failed, check the “Total clients onboarded” KPI tile on the Dashboard overview. It’s driven by a separate query, so a nonzero count there while this table shows nothing points at a failed fetch, not an empty roster.
Once you’ve found the right row, stepping into that client’s workspace is a short hop, not a separate tool.
1
Confirm the row is manageable
Check the Actions cell isn’t greyed out and isn’t mid-spinner. If it is, work through the section above before you try clicking.
2
Click View as client
This mints a delegated session scoped to that one workspace, using whichever scopes the client currently has granted.
3
Read the Reseller mode banner
It names the client and lists exactly which permissions are active for this session, before you touch anything inside their workspace.
4
Exit cleanly when you're done
The full walkthrough, including what each scope unlocks and how sessions expire, lives at View as client.
Set expectations with the client before the first session, not during it. Tell them which scopes you’re expecting to use, and ask them to confirm those toggles are on in their own Manage Reseller panel. It’s a five minute conversation that avoids a wasted click on a greyed-out button later.

Agency owner · chasing a stuck setup
A client shows Active but the button won’t click. Reads the tooltip, sees it’s still syncing, and pings the client to confirm they finished their side of onboarding instead of assuming the dashboard is broken.
Search is server side, sort is fixed, and Active never guarantees manageable.
The button tells you the truth about a client’s state before you click it.
