User Guide
When searching for users in Native Directory, you can search for all users, active users, or inactive
users. Search boxes that are displayed on the Browse tab reflect the search context based on the
selection in the Object Palette.
➤ To search for users, groups, roles or delegated lists:
1 In the Object Palette, expand User Directories.
2 Expand the user directory to search. Roles are available only in Native Directory.
3 To search for users:
a. Right-click Users.
b. Select a search context (All, Active, or Inactive).
Appropriate search boxes are displayed on the Browse tab.
Note:
You can select a search context only if you are searching within Native Directory.
c. Enter the search string and click Search. Use an asterisk (*) as the wildcard in pattern
searches. Alternatively, click Show All to list all users.
A list of users is displayed on the Browse tab.
4 To search for groups or roles:
a. Select Groups or Roles.
Appropriate search boxes are displayed on the Browse tab.
Note:
Shared Services considers Oracle and SQL Server roles as the equivalents of groups in user
directories. Oracle roles can contain other roles creating a hierarchy of roles. Shared
Services does not display the relationships between database roles in the search results but
honors them during the provisioning process. SQL Server roles cannot be nested. Because
DB2 does not support roles, Shared Services does not display groups if you select a DB2
database provider.
b. For Name, type the Search string and click Search. Use an asterisk (*) as the wildcard in
pattern searches. Alternatively, click Show All to list all groups or roles.
A list of groups or roles is displayed on the Browse tab.
5 To search for delegated lists:
a. Select Delegated Lists.
Appropriate search boxes are displayed on the Browse tab.
b. For List Name, type the Search string and click Search. Use an asterisk (*) as the wildcard
in pattern searches. Alternatively, click Show All to list all lists.
A list of matching delegated lists is displayed on the Browse tab.
