Select Users or Groups from the Operating System User Repository
Follow these guidelines when searching for users or groups in the operating system user repository:

When searching for users,
CentraSite searches the user ID attribute, not the user name attribute.
CentraSite automatically filters out users that have already been added to
CentraSite.

To list all users or groups, type
% or
* as the search string. You cannot combine either wildcard with other characters. For example, the search strings
ab% and
%ab are not valid.

To find specific users or groups, type a search string that specifies the characters with which the user ID or group name begins. The domain portion of the name is not included in the search. For example, if a user has the user ID
MyDomain\AdminUser01, a search for
Ad will find the user, whereas a search for
User01 or
My will not.

Search strings are not case or accent sensitive.

If the user to add is not known to the local system but is known to a domain server to which the local operating system is connected, type the user’s domain-qualified name into the
Type Domain Name field. (This field is not available in all versions of this dialog.)
Note: | If you type a user ID in the Type Domain Name field, CentraSite ignores any selections you have made in the user list. |
