Selecting Users or Groups Using Search Option
The following procedure describes how to use CentraSite's typeahead search feature to search for users or groups in the user database.
Keep the following points in mind when performing a search:
You must type a search string to retrieve the desired list of users or groups.
CentraSite treats the text you enter as a partial string. For example, if you enter "ali", then "Alison", "Calient" and "Salie" all fit the search criteria.
The search starts with the specified number of offset characters counted from the beginning of the string.
Search strings are not case-sensitive. Example: A search for “alison” will return the same results as a search for “Alison” or “ALISON”.
Search strings are not accent-sensitive.
When you are searching the user list,
CentraSite searches the user name attribute, not the user ID attribute. Thus, if a user has the name “John Smith” and the user ID “MyDomain\AdminUser01”, a search for will find the user “John”, whereas a search for “Admin” will not.
To select users or groups by typeahead search
1. In the Add User or Group text box, type a search string that specifies the characters contained in the user or group name.
As you enter the search string, CentraSite returns the top n assets that meet your search text.
By default, the result set is ordered alphabetically.
2. Press the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to scroll through one user or group at a time.
3. Locate the user or group to whom you wish to set permissions for the asset.
4. Click Add.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 5 until you have all the required users and/or groups.
6. Click the Ok button to add the chosen users and/or groups to the User/Group Permissions.
7. Assign specific permissions to each user and/or group as mentioned above.
