CSS Avatar List with Name and Role

The member directory every settings page, admin panel and team page needs: avatar, name, role, presence and a row action, aligned on a real grid so long names and short names produce identical columns. Two densities are switchable in CSS, the whole row is one hit target with a single focusable control, and every status carries text as well as colour.

Demo: CSS Avatar List with Name and Role
Source: https://codefronts.com/components/css-avatars/css-avatar-list-with-name-and-role/

The member directory every settings page, admin panel and team page needs: avatar, name, role, presence and a row action, aligned on a real grid so long names and short names produce identical columns. Two densities are switchable in CSS, the whole row is one hit target with a single focusable control, and every status carries text as well as colour.

How this works

Rows must share a grid, not just look similar. If each row lays itself out with flexbox, the role column lands in a different place on every row. One grid template on the row, applied to all rows, makes the columns real:

.av-13__row{
  display:grid;
  grid-template-columns: auto minmax(0,1.4fr) minmax(0,1fr) auto auto;
  align-items:center; gap:clamp(.75rem,2vw,1.25rem);
}

minmax(0, …) rather than 1fr is what allows the text columns to shrink below their content size — without it, text-overflow: ellipsis never fires and long names blow the row out.

One primary action, one secondary. Nesting a button inside a link is invalid and unusable. The row's name is the link; the action is a sibling button, and the row highlight is driven from the container so both states look intentional:

.av-13__row:hover,
.av-13__row:focus-within{ background:var(--panel-2); }

Density is a token pair. Comfortable and compact differ in row padding and avatar size — changing only one makes the list look squashed rather than dense:

.av-13:has(#av-13-compact:checked){ --row-pad:.5rem; --size:2.25rem; }

On narrow viewports the role column moves under the name by switching the template at a container-friendly breakpoint, so nothing is ever truncated to nothing.

Make it yours

  • Add or remove columns by editing one grid-template-columns value; the rows all follow because they share the template.
  • For a selectable list, add a leading checkbox column and use :has(:checked) to tint the row — no JavaScript needed for the visual state.
  • Swap the trailing action for a role <select> in admin contexts; keep the 44px minimum height so the row stays tappable.
  • Show last-active timestamps with <time datetime> and font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums so the column doesn't jitter.
  • Group by team using <h3> sub-headers between list chunks; keep the list semantics by using separate <ul>s per group.
  • For very long directories, add content-visibility: auto and a contain-intrinsic-size hint on the rows for near-free virtual scrolling.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Grid children default to min-width: auto, so long names refuse to ellipsize. minmax(0,1fr) plus min-inline-size: 0 is the fix.
  • Never nest a <button> inside an <a>. Keep them siblings and let the row's :focus-within unify them visually.
  • Making the entire row a link swallows the secondary action; if you need a whole-row target, use a stretched pseudo-element on the name link and raise the action's z-index.
  • A presence dot with no text label is inaccessible — pair it (see demo 06), especially in a list where nothing else conveys state.
  • Row hover that only lights the link makes the rest of the row feel dead; drive the treatment from the row container.
  • Don't compress avatar size without compressing padding — a small avatar in a tall row reads as a rendering bug.

Browser support

Floor set by :has(), oklch(), backdrop-filter, text-wrap as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 105+.

CSS Grid, gap, minmax(0,…), :focus-within and logical properties are supported in every current browser. :has() (Chrome 105 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 121) drives the density switch and the CSS-only theme toggle; oklch() sits behind @supports with hex declared first. No JavaScript.
