Search

Simple

To find a user:

1. Select the catalog where the user is located.
2. In the search field, enter the user's Common Name, Last Name, Login (sAMAccountName), or Email Address.
   To find all users in a catalog, enter *.
3. Click or press Enter.

Advanced

The advanced search allows you to find users using filters:

• Container
• Common name (CN)
• Container
• Logon name (sAMAccountName)
• First name
• Last name

You can also apply the following filters:

• Locked in system – to find users who have exhausted their attempts to answer secret questions and have been blocked.
• No answers to security questions – to find users who have not set answers to secret questions.
• Display disabled accounts – to find users with both active and disabled catalog accounts.

You can save the user search results to a file. Click and select the PDF or CSV format.

To start managing the internal catalog users, go to Users and select the internal catalog's root container in the catalog list.

1. Select Create user and select the container where you plan to put the user.
2. Enter the user's details.
