Filtering the Information Displayed in the GUI

You can filter the information that is displayed in the User Manager GUI. You can choose to display only users, or you can choose to display only roles. And, you can limit the scope to display either file information or LDAP information if the system is configured as an LDAP client.

The default settings are User and Files. These settings display users instead of roles, and display users' file information instead of displaying the LDAP specifications for a user.

In the filter dialog box, you also have the option to search for user names or role names that match any search criteria that you enter.

In the following dialog box, the system is not configured for LDAP, so that scope option is not available. The type is filtered to display users instead of roles. And, a search is specified to find user names that start with "m".
